DD is ten months old and has been drinking three 5oz bottles of breastmilk and three solid meals consistently during the week at daycare (grandmas house). Well grandma went on vacation so DH has been watching her during the day this week since he works from home. For the last three days, DD only drank two out of three bottles and the two bottles she does drink she doesn't finish. Today she only drank a total of 6oz during the day! I nurse morning and night. She's never not drink her milk before! I don't know if its because she misses grandma so loss of appetite (aww) or if its common for a ten month old to completely drop a feeding or just suddenly drink A LOT less??

I would be inclined to think it's the change in routine. But that's a lot less! Is DH doing something different than grandma does to give LO milk?

It can be a distraction thing and pretty common at this age, is she nursing more at night to make it up?

@birdofafeather: I don't think DH is doing anything different but I suspect it's the change of routine as well. She looooves going to grandma's house! I'm just surprised because it IS a lot less! In fact, just last week my mom was telling me I should give DD MORE milk because she finishes all three of her bottles fast!
@Kemma: DD usually wakes up once in the middle of the night for a feeding. It's usually around 5 to 5:30 am and then she goes back down to sleep. But the past few days she's been waking up earlier, around 3 to 4 am.
