Dear VIdya
One of the reason your baby may not be eating is she may be teeting. Does she drool a lot lately or try to bite on things? Her gums are hard/Swollen?

All babies have diffrent timings regarding when they get their teeth. It generally stats around 4 months and by age 2 - 2.5 yr they get most in.

If that's the case, you can apply something cold to numb her pain. You can give her cold teether to bite on. I don't know where you are (India or out of india ) but there are teeting biscuits available. YOu can give that to your child. If there are no teeting biscuits available, you can try 1 or 2 day old bread, which is little hard. When kids bite on it, it ease their pain.

If it's not teething, it may be very well that she have sore throat. Kids generally don't like to eat anything if they have sore throat. They like to live on milk becasue it helps them.
If it's none of the above, it may very well be that she is just going thru the phase where she just wants milk. Kids do that soemtime. There are few weeks that they just want solid and there are weeks when they want just milk.

One other thing that you may wnat to consider is that now that your baby is on solid, along with Milk she may need water to clear her system. Does she poop ok? Sometimes kids don't want to eat anything if their stomach is not clear.

However, I would recommend to check with your pediatrician if she continues not to eat.

Hope above advise I have give helps you.
Good Luck!
