I know exactly what you're going through! My son is now 7 months but at 3 months, he would not want more than 2 ounces of formula every 3-4 hours. I totally freaked and brought him to the hospital. They told me that as long as he's gaining weight and he's drinking some fluid, it's fine (wetting diapers etc...). At 2 months, he was drinking 5-6 ounces every 3 hours so I couldn't understand it. He never really went back to drinking alot. From 3 months and until today, he drinks 20 ounces barely because he sleeps through the night but has solids three times a day. I can only tell you to try not to worry and if you've taken him to his pediatrician and all is fine, it might just be a phase for him. My son is also on Isomil and is doing fine (all the books say he should be drinking 24-30 ounces a day and he doesn't). Good luck and try not to worry.
