6mo not interested in breakfast?

My 6mo old DD seems to have a massive aversion to breakfast! It's most mornings.
Last night she had her dinner (carrot sticks, lasagne and a few mango chunks) at 5pm, 6oz of formula before bed at 7pm. She then slept until 4am, had 4oz of formula and went back to sleep until 6:20am. That's a normal night. So when she wakes up, I hold off giving her a bottle until 7am, then try banana porridge at 7:30am. Some days (like today) she will have an ounce out of her bottle, then refuse it, and refuse her porridge. Or she will have 4/5oz then refuse porridge, which I'm not too fussed about. I'm just a bit worried about her not wanting the bottle because I'm afraid of dehydration!

If she has a bottle at 4am, don't give her another bottle till after breakfast- just water in a sippy cup with breakfast? But mostly remember she is only little and will take what she needs.

6mo is very young. We didn't serve breakfast at 6mo! Milk is their main nutrition remember. Start slow, build up from 1 meal to 2 meals + snacks.

Yeah I think I will just skip the porridge for a few days, maybe offer her a little bit of fruit with her mid morning bottle instead. She still has a bottle with a little bit of "lunch" (most of which ends up on the floor) a bottle mid afternoon and she eats dinner like a ravenous bear Hmm then her bedtime bottle
