DS will be 11 months in a few days, at his 9 month review the HV told me to drop him from 3 bottles a day to 2 cos he only needs 17oz a day and she thought that's what was causing him to be constipated. (He's not anymore)
So I dropped him to 9oz at 6am when he wakes up and 9oz before bed at 7.30pm. He has loads of other fluids throughout the day.
He has 3 meals a day and snacks in between and was doing fine but for the last week he will only drink 2oz of his bedtime bottle then tonight he wouldn't drink any at all so he's gone to sleep with no milk. I'm worried he isn't getting enough milk and dunno what to do, I don't think he's too full for it because he has his last meal at 4.30pm. Any ideas? If I started to give him milk in the afternoon he prob wouldn't be hungry for his dinner. Is cows milk any less filling and do u think it's too early to try him with some? Don't know what to do for the best.

Let him drop it. He'll be 1 soon and won't need any formula. Just up his dairy intake during the day a little- bit of full fat yoghurt or cheese, cow's milk with his cereal, that sort of thing. Sounds like he's just weaning himself off it, which is totally fine
