How much mililitre per day is okay for 7 mths baby?
gkfooddiary
Maybe some 50 ml. Make sure to give breastmilk or formula milk as a major feed. Any soup or juice should be given occasionally or when baby is sick..

It might be a growth spurt. If he is active and normal, don't worry. Give some time for him to back to routine. In the meantime give some liquid based foods like soups, porridges, juices to keep him hydrated. If it's still a problem and if he's dehydrated, visit a doctor immediately.
