6mo refusing milk

DD is 6.5 months we’ve been doing BLW for about a month. For the last week or so she’s only been wanting 3 bottles - morning lunch and bedtime and even getting those down her is a struggle. She woke up this morning and refused to even put the bottle in her mouth 😩 should I give her breakfast instead or just keep trying with the milk? Got to do the school run in 45 mins and she usually naps then so I don’t want her being starving.

How often is she having solids? If it’s more than once or twice, I’d cut back on the solids and try the milk instead.

How has she been today? 🙂

No useful advice sorry but my DS was the same at that age. Seemed to be a phase, went back to normal after a couple of weeks.

Is she teething? The pressure from the teat might be hurting her gums? You could try offering breast milk lollies, and if it makes you feel better milky porridge etc? But if she's a good weight and doesn't seem hungry I wouldn't stress out too much. They go through these weird phases!

You can add the formula to her food, if you need to. When one of mine wasn't taking enough, I put a couple of scoops of powder in with puréed pear, porridge, etc. Just make sure you count it.
