Is she having any milk during the night? If she is you may need to wean that bottle back a bit or totally. How much is she having in 24 hours now? Is the reduced milk first thing making her wake early from her nap because she is hungry?

Oh goodness... I don't think solids are an issue... she should be fine with those amounts...

Is she seeming to be hungrier without the milk - like does she want more solids? 

I would wonder about teething too...   Does she seem distracted or just not interested in her milk?

I would try her next bottle with the slower teat and see how she does... could just be that she doesn't like the faster one... some kids never get to the fastest..
