should 9 and half mnth old be having milk in the day?

[mamaLou13]

hi all. I am trying to cut breastfeeds thru day as im going bk to work in sept and my dd is starting nursery. 4 the last 3 days shes only had bf through night. And weetabix 4 brekfast, banana and yoghurt 4 lunch and a pouch off ellas kitchen 4 tea and water at mealtimes but i am worried that she should stil b having milk in the days. I bought a bottle 2day as she only drinks frm a sports cap water bottle wen poured in her mouth she wont use a cup. Should i giv her formula in the day? She doesnt eat much savoury or textured food either... Any advice?

my ds was bottlefed but still had 3 milk feeds per day at that age. He had 2 milk feeds by 11 months - am and pm. He didnt feed in the night though. There is plenty of time before September so you could still bf during the day and you may find she would have cut down by herself by then anyway.
