Refusing bottles

Little girl is 6 months old next week and has started on some solid foods. We went by her lead when she started stealing food that was within her reach. We started with introducing a few spoonfuls of food at dinner time and recently started some at lunch. Again by her lead. My concern is now she has really drop her formula intake from 5 7/8oz. Bottles to 4 bottles a day and doesn't drink it all. It has become a battle to give her bottles. She is point blank refusing to take them, crying and fighting us.
But she will happily take food of a spoon.

Never experienced this with my first.
And at this age I'm unsure what the minimum formula intake is or if she is even meeting that.

Has anyone else experienced this??

My LO (7 months old) dropped milk when I started weaning, she’s never been a big milk fan (she has reflux), but I believe the minimum is 20oz a day.

I use formula in her food too - I use 2-3oz in porridge or Weetabix for her breakfast. This also counts towards the daily intake.

My ds majorly dropped his milk when he started eating solids. I made him porridge with formula every day so he was getting extra that way

I give her porridge so I know I'm getting some formula on her.
So far today since midnight she has drank around 12oz
And had porridge twice today so had some extra there.
