Baby won’t drink formula

Hey guys I’m going out of my mind here, my wee woman is 7 months old and she is refusing to drink her milk during the day. This has all started to happen around 4 weeks ago. From 4
Months old she slept through the night from half 7 to about 5/6 in the morning. But 4 weeks ago she has started to wake during the night every 4 hours and wanting to feed. She would then take her 8 am bottle and want no more for the rest of the day. It is really frustrating as I don’t understand what’s going on, or why she won’t drink her milk I’m not sure if she’s getting enough?. Hv said she shouldn’t be eating during the night as she has 2 teeth but how can I not give her anything at night when she won’t eat during the day? Also won’t drink water or anything. Please does anyone have any advice

What's her weight gain like, is she tracking her lines? How much solid food is she getting? She needs to be having water or she'll get dehydrated. Call your HV back and be much more firm about how concerned you are - if you're a bit wishywashy they just ignore you.

Thanks for your reply. I literally have no idea what the weight gain is she was born at 37+2 weighing 5lbs 1oz, last time she was weighed was at 2 months old and she was 8lbs 9oz. Since then the Hv has been out twice, including a couple of days ago and they still haven’t weighed her even tho I’ve asked. She’s a very petite baby. I feel her solids twice a day. Hv said to give her 3 meals to fill her up for night time but I feel like if I done that then she wouldn’t drink milk at all. I try give her water however she only takes a couple of sips.
