So, for the past like 2 weeks Hailey has had trouble finishing her milk, she used to drink 5 oz before and now she barely drinks 2oz while awake. If she is asleep then she will drink about 4-5oz, no problem but when she is awake she fights, cries throws the bottle away from her face.... I don't know what to do? please help any suggestions as to why this could be?

Is it bmilk or formula? Have you changed you diet lately if it is bmilk? Or if it formula it could be she is developing reaction to it.
It could be she is taking in more air which could make her gassy. Purp her more often, or try Baby's Blisses gripe water.
But don't forget to call your Ped and make sure it's not something serious.

Maybe she is teething when Alyssa was teething she didnt have much of an appetite either. Try putting a lil bit of banana in it maybe the flavor will make her interested again. Around this time i started giving Alyssa applesauce She love it and loved to bite the spoon I guess it soothed her gums.
