She is now 8 months and has always been bottlefed. Over the past week, she is refusing to take more than a couple of ounces from the bottle (formula). She eats cereals and babyfoods with no issue. She has not yet had any teeth appear.

I think she might be telling you that she is ready to start with the sippy cup. Start slow since it is new to her. get her ones that she can hold good too. Little hands need help at first.
Keep going with the solid foods but keep it healthy, not fatting. Fruits and veggies. That helps her learn how to make good choices in her diet when she gets older.
Remember no baby will starve themselves so don't worry if she refuses something.

She's growing and is more interested in solid foods that fill her up. Formula isn't satisfying her like it once did. It's a natural part of growing up. As long as she's eating nutritious food, whether it's formula, juice, or food, then she's fine. She'll let you know what she wants. You have no need to worry. Blessings

if she is drinking afew ounces and eating plenty of solids i wouldnt worry too much. a baby is only required to drink 20 ounces a day if its on fomula only.your baby will do fine if shes eating enough food as well as a few ounces of formula. one of my babies was 11 months before he got any teeth. dont worry

If she is eating well, try a sippy cup. It just might be time for her to give up the bottle.

She probable can't handle anymore milk. Or she feel in love with the regular food so she won't take the bottle. Talk to the doctor.

She is telling you she is ready for more solid foods and perhaps a sippy cup.

same thing happened to me...but a sippy cup that has a soft sipper...take out the stopper, and gently tip the drink into her mouth until she learns to drink from it....she sees mommy holding a cup..and she wants one too :)

If I were you I would try her with a sippy cup. She might be ready for that. Good luck!
