She has thrush: Most likely your baby has yeast infection of the moth called thrush. It may be sore, and that is the reason why she does not want to suck a bottle because it hurts. Young infants such as yours quite often gets thrush because their immunity has not fully developed. Nystatin (mycostatin) suspension, or gentian violet would take care of the problem, but you need to take her to a doctor first.Th.

May be Thrush: With so little information, it is hard to be sure but your baby may have thrush, an oral yeast infection. The discomfort from the thrush may be part of the reason she is not eating. You should get her checked by a pediatrician to check for thrush and other reasons there may be for her not eating.
