Less milk now weaning

My just turned 8 month old is exclusively breast fed, and is a real big eater of solids (photo so it doesn’t get lost!) In the past few days she has just kinda gone off milk during the day? like I offer her feeds and she’ll only have one when she wakes up, one at lunch (if she’ll take it), and then one before bed. She does still wake up 2-3 times in the night for a feed though. I have tried her on bottles, and she was fed by breast & pumped bottle until she was 4 months, had her tongue tie cut and we was told she had a high pallet so would struggle to latch properly on a bottle, and since then she has been really funny about taking bottles! She has her multi vitamins in her porridge for breakfast, and we make sure she has her 5 a day, healthy fats and protein! (She’s fab at baby led weaning!) she also drinks a fair amount of water a day. Is this normal at this age? We give her 2 meals (breakfast & dinner), but she just doesn’t seem to want the breast when I offer? Just to add to this, she’s just had her 2 bottom teeth break through (at 2 separate times 🥲🥲🥲) and I know this can cause them to be fussy with feeding!

my girl refused milk during day when started to have 2 meals just took it in the morning and before bed . now we are on 3 meals and milk before bed only .. so i think its normal ..

It is very normal for this to happen! Along with teething and weaning together it sounds like food is just filling her up more and she doesn’t need the milk xx

I started introducing blw a few weeks ago and my baby has also started doing the same, although he’s formula he has also started going off his milk during the day xx
