Hi,
My boy also don't really take much if compare with other baby. But I tried to get him involve in some activities which will use more energy to help in increasing his milk intake. I send my son for swimming. I noticed that after the swimming session he able to drink more and rest well too. That's very effective for my son. Maybe you can have a try. He is taking 180ml till 210ml only as he is 7 months old. But due to I already started him on solid food, if the milk don't finish or drink too much I'm not so worry. I always kept some baby biscuits in the bag in case he don't take milk the biacuits can't temporary to replace milk.I started my son for solid when he turn 4 months. I started with rice base cereal instead of oatmeal. Coz much easier to digest.

Hi you don't say how many times a day he drinks. If your baby is gaining weight, then, there's no need to be worried and try to make him drink more. Most of babies just drink what they need.

hi zhen, don't worry, you are not alone. my boy is also turning 4 months tomorrow, and he also is not drinking much. he is very slow to finish 90ml of milk, though the PD told me that as long as the baby is gaining weight and everything is normal (height, weight, etc) then nothing to worry.
