6 month old lost interest in milk

For the past month or so my baby has been having 8oz x 4 a day which has been fine she's never previously been fussy with her milk. Since she hit 6 months I have started weening mainly lunch time and have now introduced breakfast porridge since that she hasn't been that interested in her milk even when I know she's hungry evening time she doesn't really want to take it and gets abit worked up but eventually she does. I'm worried she's getting confused does this sound normal? Also I used cow and gate formula stage 1 and have done since birth... should I be changing to stage 2?

Thanks in advance for any advice

No need to change to follow on, first infant formula is what the NHS recommend until 12 months.

I don't think that weaning into solids will be confusing her. Refusing bottles could be to do with teething or with a generally fussy stage.

Thanks @AssassinatedBeauty I did think teething might be making her a bit of it at the moment as it's quite bad!

@mincymoo124 I could've wrote your post! These past 2 days it's been such a battle getting milk down her she just turns her head all the time! I think it's due to teething as she never refuses a bottle.

My boy was having 3 meals a day and he cut down to 3 bottles at 8 months then at 9 months he cut to two 8oz bottles. They tend to cut down around this age, I'm starting soon to wean my boy to cows milk as he's 11 months now. You don't need to move onto stage two, stage one is fine 😌
