excessive thirst?

Hi ladies this is just a random question im not sure if i should be worried or not.

Peanut is FF and reciently he was put on a LF diet however since then he seems to have excessive thirst.
hes 91/2 months old and having 3 soild meals a day plus snacks but is currently going through a tin of formula in 3 days which is out of character for him normally lasts a minimum of 5.
he just seems to be thirsty all the time i offer him water or cranberry juice between his normal bottle times but he refuses these and when given formula rapidly drinks it like hes overly thirsty?
Could this be because of the change in formula? hes been on S26LF for a week now was on SMA??

Any thoughts would be helpful

Thanks

If he is refusing water and cranberry juice, then it's unlikely he is thirsty.
Maybe is just really likes the formula?

What is an LF diet? Lactose free?

I'd say just follow his cues, he may be having a growth spurt and feels fuller faster with the formula than he does with the solids.
