How long do I need to feed my baby milk?

My dd is 10 months old and I have mostly been bf-ing her. I have also offered her the odd bit of formula from a cup, of which she will only take 1-2oz. I know that I can reduce the amount of milk I give her when she is 1 yr old and that I can start to give her cow's milk. But what is the minimum amount she should be drinking and when can I stop giving her milk altogether (if she doesn't like cow's milk)? I'd like to stop bf-ing when she is 1 as she already has 8 teeth!

You can breastfeed a baby with teeth you know! I did for months.
They don't really need milk (apart from breastmilk). One of my babies self weaned from the breast at 11 months and thereafter never had any milk of any sort apart from in cheese and yoghurt and on cereal.
Cows' milk is a very overrated product.

I bf ds3 till he was 2.8 and the teeth were only an issue when he got them first.
