First Day Away

First day back, 
But for me it was my first day away.  Away from my baby 

I was able to pump three times, and had an output of 15 ounces.  Which are 15 ounces that should be in baby's belly.  Turned out, she barely has 1 ounce.  Luckily, she had wet diapers.  Also, started solids earlier than planned and had some rice cereal for brunch & sweet potatoes late afternoon.  But she has just one..
Hold me

‼️HELP⁉️
Bottle refusal, actually multiple bottle refusal, & I've tried
- soft spout sippy cup (Tommy tippee)
- Also without valve, which pours when tilted
- Silicon spout sippy (pura Kiki)
- spoon
- Oral syringe
- Dropper
- Cup
After I ruined the bottle reintroduction, the other options have been tried mostly by James.  She probably got gets the most progress with him, but she'd rather starve at night. So he only had a few weekends to try

I went back to work today, & my mom came over yesterday afternoon and tried ONCE, the bottl and sippy.  Gave 0.1 ounce, and that's being generous.  Today she tried the other options while I was at work.  She thinks she gave 1 oz, and spilled 1.5 oz.  who knows

Any suggestions?

I followed the recommendation of reintroducing the bottle 2 weeks prior to my work start date
That gave James only a handful of weekend days
My mom when visiting just didn't try, citing that all babies figure it out.  After my practically begging, she came Sunday afternoon (not morning as requested) & tried once

Here's the thing, since I knew Natalie was refusing the bottle & sippy, I changed up our solids plan.  I added cereal for her morning wake time, & I mix breast milk with everything and feed with a spoon.  She knows how to take the spoon

The reason why it's worrisome-
Natalie took max 1 oz of milk today,  I pumped 15 oz at work. I had to make my sessions short.. & I was gone for 13.5 hours. I did feed her at 5am and 6am before leaving, and immediately when I got home.  She ate her morning cereal & afternoon veggies,but it's only
- cereal 1/2 tablespoon mixed with 2 tablespoon of milk
- sweet potato, almost 2 tablespoons

Should I be worried? is this something I should go to pediatrician to on my 2 days off
What can I do? Any ideas??

So so desperate
