7 month old not wanting milk

My lo is on solids... But recently she's not been wanting her milk :/

Wow, I just reread my posts and I really need to stop texting before I'm fully awake.

So, she isn't taking any liquids at all? How long has it been? I'd probably call the pediatrician. It might be nothing, but I always feel better getting a professional opinion.

As long as she is taking fluids in she should be fine. She may need less right now cause she isn't going through a growth spurt. Along with the teething. Maybe the nipples bug her. Try holding a cup for her without a sippy lid. Only fill it a little bit. ..not to the top. My pediatrician says a child will eat and drink when they need to unless ill. And not to stress.

Are you giving her milk before solids? Always offer formula or breast BEFORE giving food

She usually has about 4 7oz bottles within 24 hours

I've tried sippy cups , she just throws it on the floor aha

But her last bottle was 2am , it's now 11am and she still won't take any , milk or water

When teething my son didnt drink milk as much. But solids also can fill them up and its not so much getting dehydrated but that they are just to full for more milk. Maybe just offer water in the bottle and see how that goes, still offer milk of course but maybe if she rejects it just try with some water see how it goes not much u can do than what you are doing they will only take what they take xox

At this pound, she needs her milk. It should still be providing the majority of her nutrition. Are you bottle feeding? Maybe see if she'll take a soppy cup.

How much is she drinking in a day? Mine still takes around 28-30 oz. The doctor said she should start cutting back to around 24oz as she eats more. Could this be what yours is doing?

She is teething so maybe that's why? I've been offering it her every hour or so

She's okay eating though, just not her milk

Could she be sick? My dd drank less last week when she had a cold.

At 7 months, babies definitely still need to drink formula/breastmilk. Maybe try offering it more frequently in smaller amounts?
