My baby is 18 months old, and she is not drinking enough milk but is eating baby food all day. is that healthy?

Hi doctor. My baby is just over 4 months old. She is not drinking much of breast milk nor formula milk nowadays. However, she seems interested in food we eat. We have started to give her puree food as well like once a day, and she seems to enjoy?
