Remember to feed him differently, he may have outgrown his baby foods, so start enriching his cereal with banana, peaches, and his veggies with beef, chicken, etc...plus formula to drink. You can even cook the oatmeal or rice cereal with formula, then cool and add some mooched fruits. Could he be dehydrated now that it is hot and summer time? Leave him a bottle to have anytime he wants, also allow him to reach for fingerfoods whenever, like some cheerios...or bits of banana...

it depends on his feeding habits are they the same ? has he decreased or increased. is he otherwise health. some kids go up & down they are growing. there are alot of factors that need to be consider?
