baby bringing hand or toys to mouth is normal at this age so please dont worry.sometimes babies can take little less from their normal feed.what is more important that you should keep an eye on his hydration status.as long as he passing urine 5-6 times in 24 hours and is playful and active it should not worry you.if he constantly feeding low or has decreased urine output thn plz have an expert consultation otherwise its normal.god bless your child
