it may well be as straightforward as she is beginning to teeth. baby’s get genuine fussy throughout that time. stick your finger in her mouth and really feel all-around on her gums. do they appear a tiny swollen? they move up and down some occasions prior to the poke threw. this can make infant not want to eat.
look if she does a day or two with extremely small feedings it is ok. she will consume when she gets hungry. but if she starts to get lethargic and not taking something in, then call your DR.

My lil cousins did the same thing and the thing is you need to mix up their foods b/c it gets boring to them if they eat the same thing every day.

Is she possibly constipated? My son did that when starting cereal. There tummys are so uncomfortable.
Check with your ped. I was given the ok to give 2 oz prune juice w/ 2 oz water to help him and it worked within an hour.

At four months old, baby should be just eating milk. From six months you can start to introduce other foods but even then babys main source of nutrition is still milk.
Arching their back is what babys often do when in pain. I’d say that she’s either teething or having trouble with wind.

the arching of the back could be due to acid reflux. Contact your gp about trying gaviscon infant.

my 4 month is exactly the same. shes teething. dont worry babies have days when they dont drink that much its normal their HUMAN! my lil girl did does that she arches her back as if like she wants to sit up, she does in her car seat, her swing … you can give baby rice if you want to, you dont have to ask your ped or hv at the end of the day thier are there for advice and you do what is best for your baby. i give baby rice to my lil one at her 2nd feed (11am) she loves it!
dont listen to the blah blah of 6 months start solids..and baby rice in milk can cause choking!!! good luck
