Advice - 12 month old has gone off bedtime milk and hardly drinks any fluid!

My DD drinks about 5 oz milk in the morning, plus 3 oz on her breakfast but has recently gone off her bedtime milk and barely drinks 1-2oz. I haven't changed the milk yet so i know it's not that, and she is still drinking from a bottle as not changed that either.
She doesn't drink much during the day, maybe 1 oz of water all day! Tried diluting juice or smoothies but not interested in that either and i'd prefer to just give her water to be honest.

Does anyone have any ideas? She seems fine in herself, not dehydrated but no.2's are a bit hard (sorry!)

She's eating well, plenty of food from each food group, could it be that she's just full up? She doesn't wake in the night either so i know she's eaten enough throughout the day.

Any help much appreciated!

Does she eat much foor that has lots of water in it? Potato, fruit etc?

How old is she?

Feel free to describe as much poo as you like. I've just had my head in a toilet rolling it off nappies.........

I've been cooking plenty of recipes from the annabel karmel book, which seem to have some liquid in them. Mainly fish,beef,chicken,lots of vegetables, pasta,rice etc. I'm quite concious that she gets something from each food group, protein, carbs, fruit n veg, dairy etc. Fruit is a tough one though, she will nibble on a bit of apple, and suck the juice from pieces of satsuma or suchlike, but not much else. She does eat natural yoghurt and from frais too.

Dd was like this. I used to have to cook things with lots of milk in to make sure she had enough.

She had lots of fruit purees, which were very fluidy (is that a word ?) - pears, apples kiwi.
