Baby Refusing Formula Feeds

Hopefully my someone can give me some advice.
My baby is 8 months old and over the past week she has been refusing most of her milk feeds.
Our normal routine is 4 x 6/7ozbottles throughout the day and two meals.

This week she has been taking 7oz At 7am followed by some porridge with 3 oz of formula an hour or so later.
she has another 7oz around 1130.
She then refuses her afternoon bottle, has dinner at 4pm and is also refusing her bedtime feed.
Yesterday, when she wouldn’t take milk, I gave her some yoghurt instead,which she ate, so it’s not as if she’s not hungry.
I’m concerned that she’s not getting enough nutrients. 😱 Help please!

Should I contact my health visitor or dr?

Honestly., I’d tack her lead and drop a bottle. At this age she only needs 600 ml of infant formula which works out at about 20 floz.

Could you try a bottle on wake up, breakfast roughly an hour later. Lunch then bottle before nap. Tea and bottle before bed?
