Baby not drinking milk

Question

Asked for Female, 31 Years

My baby who is 14 weeks (three and a half months) old just doesn't want to drink milk. Neither breast milk not formula. We feed her for one hour just to realise that she has taken only 40 ml. She only wants to play and giggle. She is not reaching 500 ml a day. Why is this happening? What shall I do? How can I make her drink milk? Please help...
