It might be too much flow and he can feel the pressure on his mouth

Do you eat the same exact amount of food at every meal? He will be hungrier at times when he has been more awake or more active just like you. His activity consists of what you do with him in a day. Also he is growing all the time so he is going to need more food at times. Is the nipple on the bottle the same? Some they have to work at harder because the opening is not the same and this tires them out and they stop eating. Other nipples are too open and it gushes out too fast and they drink more.

The amount of liquid in the bottle controls the flow not just slow flow nipples. The less fluid the slower, more the faster. Pretty Simple. Have just a few mls more than you think he will eat, this should allow you to know when to increase feeding amount or add more mls. good luck!

It could be that he is not hungry at the time u feed him but he wants a "snack" and then when u feed him again he has his appetite and wants more??? I no how u feel am going thru similar thing with my baby girl.

Probably and most likely the change of nipple. Check to ensure that one is not clogged or that one is not flowing too slow or too fast.
