fussy or ready to drop a feed?

My seven and a half month old who had her breakfast this morning would not have any milk from her bottle. She had two ounces of formula with her baby rice (which was three heaped teaspoons of baby rice) and then two small pieces of banana as I'm trying to start the whole blw. Could I have just filled her up too much and she doesn't want her bottle or she just doesn't want milk in the morning. I thought the morning one would stay when she started to drop her feeds
I hope this question doesn't sound silly but me and her dad are first time parents and just new to this :-)
Cheers

At that age I would be tempted to give the milk first and then let her 'top up' with food rather than food then topping up with milk.

If I give her her milk first she won't touch her breakfast. I've tried giving her half a bottle. If I take the bottle off her and try to give her breakfast she just screams until she gets the bottle back.

Yes give a milk feed when she wakes then breakfast an hour later. The baby rice and banana sound like a lot!

The first few months of weaning are about tastes, textures and getting used to solids. As they get nearer to 1, solids start to swap with milk as main source of nourishment.

I remember worrying that ds would never get onto solids if he wasn't on three meals by 7 months but I took a step back, went with him and we got there by 9 months. Now at 2.6 yrs he likes his food a bit too much

Give her breakfast later then? At that age Ds had a bottle when he woke then had breakfast about 2 hours later.
