7 month old gagging& throwing up when offered bottle

My DD is 7.5 months old and the past few days seems to completely hate her bottles. She's barely taking 20oz in a day, yesterday she took 21oz but threw up after 2 of her bottles and the day before it was ,19oz. This morning she took 4oz, I stopped to wind her and change her nappy as she'd done a poo, then as soon as I lifted her bottle to give her the rest she gagged and threw up. She seems to be doing this gagging and throwing up so much the past few days and half the time the bottles not even in her mouth!!! She does it as soon as she sees it!
I'm distracted worrying. I spoke to HV on phone on Nye as I was worried and she advised to cut a bottle out as she had still been taking almost 35oz every day and not wanting much solids but it's just got worse.

Any advice would be fab please peeps.

Is she eating other solids and drinking other fluids? I'd be most worried about dehydration at this point. Get on the phone to your GP or 111 today for urgent advice.

Yes, she's having 2-3 meals a day along with snacks like toast, pancake, yoghurt and rice cakes and drinking water from a free flow cup with every meal and sips in between too. She's doing wet nappies so I'm not too worried about dehydration at the minute. I'm more concerned about why she suddenly seems to hate her bottles

She sounds like a good eater :) I have no advice re bottle refusal I'm afraid, mine never took one. If she's drinking from a cup have you tried putting her milk in the cup?

I haven't actually tried that but I might give it a go, thank you 😊
