It doesnt mean anything is wrong, necessarily. Please dont call the pediatrician everytime you have a question. Get the book "Caring for Your Baby and Young Child: Birth to Age 5". It has alot of useful information about feeding. Your baby will NOT starve if you give her milk. The most important thing for your baby at this moment is that she is getting enough liquid in her body. She should be wetting her diaper regularly. Try giving her cheerios or some other healthy cereal. Not only will it be (fairly) nutritious for her, she will not be hungry. Which reminds me- are you sure she is hungry when you try to feed her? If she is satisfied by milk, by all means, give it to her. I'm assuming by "milk" you mean formula. Anyway, chances are, she is completely fine. Dont let the goobers on here scare you into thinking she is ill. Good luck!

Talk to your pediatrician first. Have you tryed offering fun things like juice cycles, a bowl of ice cream, a few fruit loops, a banana, for her to hold and maybe taste from? If she not at all interested then something is up. Call your doctor. Shes way to old to be drinking just milk.

Keep trying new foods everyday until you find something that interest her.
If she has previously been eating food and this is new that she is not eating, then you need to get her to her pediatrician. She may have a sore throat, an ear ache, a thrust infection, or she may be cutting teethe and her mouth is sore.
Don't worry too much mom, as this, too, shall pass.

she may just like the bottle! try putting #2 baby food in a bottle ,start with 1 jar add the rest milk, do this with different foods then after she gets used to the different tastes use 2 jars and the rest milk, you may have to cut a bigger slit in the nipple, my son was this way!

See her pediatrician immediately - she could have a sore throat, not wanting to swallow or she might be having sore gums from teething. But if she just refuses to eat at 13 months, something is wrong and should be looked at ASAP.

Dont give in & give her milk, you wont be starving her, she will be fine. SHe needs to at least be snacking by now, its not healthy that she only gets milk. You should have just gone to the pediatrician for her 12 month shots. what did he say about it???
