My 5 months old stopped eating well?

Until a week ago, my 5 months old was already eating around 4-5 ounces in every feeding. It has been a week now that she went back to eating 1-2 ounces per feeding and then stops.
I noticed that she also stays less time on the breast. My milk supply went down this week (because the demand went down).
Other than that, the baby is as happy as always. She giggles a lot and 'talks' and seems very active. Just eating less.
We are 2 weeks away from the next Dr appointment and I am not in a hurry to take her in since she seems to be ok. (I check her fever every evening and it was around 98.).
Is this an normal behavior for a baby? Should I take her in to be examined?
yes, she is teething....you are right. Maybe it is related,
 
yes this is normal...she could be teething, mine always slowed waaaay down with the eating...and believe me when i say they are little piglets lol. If she is happy i say it is safe to wait...i am sure if she was hungry you would be the first to know. When she does not eat as much i recommend pumping your milk and storing it for emergencies and so your milk supply won't go low, because once she is done teething...she will be a hungry girl...usually a growth spurt follows teething!
