XP: Decreased Appetite around 3mos. old

Not sure if I am overreacting, but the past week and a half to two weeks DD hasn't been eating as much. She gets formula and breastmilk. The formula we use is Enfamil Newborn, and I talked to the babysitter, and she said she also has noticed she isn't eating as much. I have also noticed that she is a little more difficult to feed, espeically with the formula. She moves the bottle out of her mouth with her tounge or tries to bat it away with her hand. She used to finish a 4oz bottle no problem, but now it is a struggle getting her to finish it. She has been taking the Enfamil Newborn since she was about a week old.

However, at night when she wakes up to eat she takes the bottle (formula) no problem. I'm not sure if I should take her to the pedi, change her formula, change bottle, or what to do or if this is even something I should be worried about. She seems happy, and has gained almost 2 pounds since her last appointment back in December. DH thinks she is fine, but I find it odd because she was a good eater.

Mine is doing the same except she is only ff ... I can barely get 2oz in her and she screams the whole time. Last week she ate like crazy 4oz each time. Reflux and allergies are under control, no fever, cold or ear infection. I have no idea.

My ds is formula fed and is 12 weeks old.  He's doing the exact same thing.  He eats lot less and bottles are becoming a struggle - he pushes the nipple out with his tongue or bats the bottle away.  I was thinking he was pushing the bottle away because he's discovering how his hands work and wants to grab at the bottle, and it comes off as him pushing it away.  I don't know why he's pushing the bottle out with his tongue... he'll do it, then we'll take a break and I'll offer the bottle 5 mins later and he'll drink.  It seems to me that he's more interested in what's going on around him lately than drinking.  My DS also drinks the normal amount at night, when it's dark and he can't get distracted as easily.  I've just been taking more breaks with the bottles.. it takes longer, but I really just think he's getting distracted.
