Try the pumpkin for a BM....like said above, if there is no vomiting, no pain, you can watch for a day or so...be sure baby is still taking water, no obvious pain in abdomen, no swelling....sometimes they just get tired of eating!....tired of the same thing....but you certainly dont want to start playing food roulette! Just let him rest for a day, get over being bored with meals, and he will start back eating....if he doesnt, a vet visit may be warrented. You know your baby and his behavior patterns....you will know in your gut if something is not right and needs to be seen. maybe a late day vet visit on Friday will help you get thru the weekend....you dont want to stumble into the weekend, not knowing if you have a real problem or not...I always say, "Rather safe than sorry".....
