5 month old reduce formula

So we have been feeding our DD food and in the last few days she doesn't take a whole bottle. She is on the small side and only takes 5 ounce at a time but on a few feeds she only takes 3-4 ounces. Should I be concerned? She loves real food but want her to have all the best nutrition for her.

    If she's not taking as much formula then you should reduce the solids.

    How much formula is she getting total in a day?  My pedi said anywhere from 20 to 32 ounces is the norm at this age.  My daughter who loves her solid food has gone down to 21-25 ounces a day and my son who is so-so on solids is getting 24-28 ounces a day.

    I know with my first around this age she was also eating about 22 ounces a day, she loved her solids.

    With my 1st DD I was told to offer the bottle first and then give her food.  At this age their main source of nutrition comes from formula/breast milk.
