5 months old suddenly won't feed

Hello Ladies
Wondering if anyone has gone through this.
My 5 months old suddenly won't nap anymore and as a result she won't feed properly.
Evenings have become a nightmare because she is so tired and irritable and she goes to bed without feeding properly (she's bottle fed and usually would drink 210ml at night now we're at less than 100ml).
Strangely, it doesn't affect her nights and she'll sleep right through morning so I am worried that she just doesn't get all the food she needs.
She was close to drinking 1000ml now she's hovering around 800ml a day and as I said evenings are a total nightmare.
I know sleeping and eating is interlinked and I feel so sad for her and I can see she's struggling.... has anyone gone through this? Is it a phase? What can I do to help her

Have you tried a faster teat? Could she be teething? That would also affect her sleep!
