Help!!! She's now rejecting the bottle

Have recntly been weaning my b/f DD onto ff (23 weeks), as I personally feel I've had enough and the time is right to stop.

Have been doing it gradually and replacing feeds every 3 days. She is currently on 3 ff during day and bf first and last thing plus any night wakeings. Was going great and she was doing really well, but past 2 days has refused to have more than a couple of ozs at each ff. I'm worried that she isn't getting enough to eat. Is this just normal rejection due to her being previously bf????

Also will it do her any harm if she carries on like this???? Will start weaning soon, so can add calcium in via yogurts, cheese, milk in food but am worried about the nx few weeks. Sorry if this sounds a bit daft but am new to all this!

Have you tried changing the teat style/ making ir warmer or colder? No experience with ff but DS will sometimes go off EBM from a bottle for no reason that I can see - changing the teat usually foxes him and he takes it again.

Have moved to a faster flow teat, and managed an oz or 2 more than usual.

Thanks for response - I'm hoping she will settle back down when she realises that the boob is no more
