10 month old refusing milk!? long..

[BlankSpace1]

So im a bit desperate at the moment!
soon as my daughter wakes up, she usually has a full 6oz bottle, but yesterday morning she would just sip for a couple of seconds and then hit it away. i bought her downstairs and tried to give it to her to feed herself but she wasnt interested in this either.. in the end i gave her yoghurts for breakfast which thankfully she ate no problem. she continued to refuse her bottles and although she does have several sippy cups she isnt very interested in mastering them at all.
the trouble is she doesnt really eat many foods! anything with lumps or texture she wont touch, she is happy to eat smooth, cold food such as yoghurt. even gave her custard (bad mummy but i was desperate for her to eat something!)
but she wont even touch ready break.
she will feed herself things like baby crispy puffs, rusk and biscotti, but ive tried things like toast and boiled carrot sticks and she isnt interested. (she has a very strong gag reflex which doesnt help)
so what do i do? she barely eats anything, but i wasnt too worried because she had bottles in between so thought she may just be a bit later developing in terms of meals, but if she refuses milk too then she will go hungry! she cant live on yoghurts for long until she gets bored surely? and what about bed times, she usually has a bottle before naps and bed.. do i suddenly start feeding her 10 times a day??
very grateful for any help please!!

side note..
physically she seems okay, temperature is fine, nappies are wet, she is responsive and has no rashes or sign of pain.. weve battled long term constipation for ages but it has never stopped her eating before so i dont think this is the problem.

Forgot to mention, she is very wingy and seems a bit unsettled, but even when she has been unwell or teething, nothing has ever put her off her milks before! Really don't know what to do..

My youngest did this around the same age. I substituted water for milk in bottles to make sure she didn't become dehydrated. Then always had yoghurts, including non-sweetened natural yoghurt as part of each meal.

She just didn't like milk and still doesn't. DD is nearly 30 now.

She may be teething, hence the refusal of lumpy food, but possibly she's just aware it's different. I tried her with jellies as way to get her take different textures.

Advice I was given at the time was don't force the issue, don't wear yourself out pandering to her and simply make sure she has access to a variety of suitable food at regular intervals. A hungry child will not starve itself.

Before I get flamed, I am aware this is a bit simplistic and that there are some health problems that can lead to non-eating. However, these are rare and a paediatrician friend said the easiest way to check if a child is unable to take food by mouth is to give them a square of chocolate. If they can manage to consume that, then they're fine.

At 10 months there are becoming aware of themselves a little and their past 'normal' behaviours will change. This is often the time when sleep patterns change too and it catch new parents out a bit. This was when I started to be a bit firmer with routines. Mind you, mine were both criers and they just didn't sleep. For my sanity, I had to build a routine around them and find ways to ignore the noise.

Thank you, I've since started a new thread actually cus the issue seems to of changed, she's just refusing fluids in General!
I did wonder if it was her teeth, but she has 5 already and we've never had this issue so I'm unsure.
I did try her on more finger food today and she is learning to eat slowly so that's a good sign I think, going to head more towards baby lead weaning now too so she has more control and may feel more inclined.
And chocolate if fine by me if it proves she is alright! :)

Machinebee I've been lucky! I sleep trained both of mine and although baby gets up just before 5 (argh!!) She sleeps through from around 6.30

You are lucky with that. One less thing to worry about. Have you tried her with a proper cup (not lidded)? Small amounts of liquid to keep mess down.

I haven't but can give it a go, she smacks everything away that she doesn't want and rather than crying just violently screams (she's a dramatic baby) so I'm not sure how far I will get ha
