Already moms, 3.5 month old won't eat

The last time my baby ate was almost 6 hours ago.. she refuses to eat. She just wants to sleep. Whenever she first wakes up she's happy but after about 10 mins she's fussy and wants nothing but to go back to sleep.. she never acts like this! Any ideas as to what could be wrong with her?

Could be teething, or an ear infection or she might be starting a cold. Its hard to know for sure but you should call the Dr. She's definitely not feeling well and when they're that little its better to be safe than sorry

Take her temp too and try just giving her a couple ounces of water. You don't want her to get dehydrated but sleeping/sluggishness is a sign she could be getting sick

My son was like that, nine months old now, turns out he was having a growth spurt, but I would give your doctor a ring just in case, just keep trying to feed her, if your breastfeeding then keep her against your bare breast if bottle feeding take a syringe and feed her. Even though I'm breastfeeding my son sometimes just want to latch, around the time he started teething, had to express and feed him from a syringe

At one point I was doing both bottle and breast because he was a hungry baby and breast wasn't enough, he would pick and choose if he wanted breast or bottle. Lol it was so annoying! :)
