Argh, My DD is Stressing Me Out

DD is 7mo and has been on 3 small meals for about a week. Nothing major, small amount of weetabix in the morn, finger food for lunch (maybe toast, and a yoghurt) and whatever I eat for dinner, but blended slightly so it's chunky. I knew her milk intake would drop when she started solid food. But my god, trying to get her to have a bottle is going to be the death of me 😩
She's supposed to have 4 bottles a day, 7oz in the morning and at night, and 2 6oz throughout the day. I'm lucky if she takes 3 oz at each bottle! She's hardly getting any milk now at all, it's dropped as the days gone on, yesterday being the worst, and this morning, she's not interested in her milk. She's had less than 2oz of milk. I don't know what to do anymore 😩
Any advice? I started giving her baby vitamin drops cause I was worried about her not getting it from the milk. She's on the fastest flowing teat they sell for her bottle, so that's not it. I'm totally at a loss.

Ugh I'm having similar at the moment so I feel your pain. Try to add milk to as much of the food as you can. Mash soft veg with milk, cereal with milk etc. Tbh I think you kind of have to take their lead even though it seems wrong. Keep an eye on her weight and if shes not gaining or loses weight then maybe reduce the amount of food she's having. Weaning can be a really slow process, two steps forward one step back.
