10.5 months refusing milk

Hi - just a quick question - my dd is eating fine (for a change) but is refusing her bottles of milk at breakfast and mid afternoon. I have tried in a cup but she still won't take anything.
She has been doing this for the last couple of days.
Could it be teething - although as I say she is eating the rest of her food fine? She will have her last bottle at bedtime though.
It means that she is only having 7-9oz a day at the moment, but I am giving her yoghurt, cheese etc to try and make up.

Should I be worried and if so what can I do??

TIA

No advice really but my (almost) 8 month old does much the same - think she gets about 10-11 oz a day if we're lucky but eats everything else really well so after a few weeeks of worrying about it decided that as she eats yoghurts/cheese etc and gets other vitamins etc from other food it wasn't worth worrying about. After all can't exactly force feed it to them... I would say just ensure she gets a balanced diet generally with lots of other dairy and I hope she (and my dd) will be fine !

Thanks Hazellnut - I hope it is another phase that she is going through! I am sure that they will be fine - doesn't stop us from worrying though does it?
