12 month old routine

Please can I ask for help with a routine for my 12 month old DS? He is ebf (plus 3 meals a day, and the odd snack). I’m trying to transition him onto cows milk, with limited success so far. He has struggled with getting to sleep, and we found that feeding to sleep was no longer working. He would want to feed, but just get frustrated that he couldn’t get sleepy, then be over tired. So my DP has taken over putting him down to sleep for naps and bedtime at the moment. This is working well and he’s settling himself fairly quickly. I’m thinking about weaning from breastfeeding, so cutting down feeds to just morning, bedtime and overnight (although I’d love the overnight feeds to stop!). Because my partner is doing bedtime, I feed my DS before his bath, but this feels too soon after dinner, and he doesn’t feed for long. He wants milk earlier in the day, but I’m trying to distract him with cows milk and a snack, but he spits out the cows milk! We’re currently doing dinner at 6pm so we can all eat together, which I really like, but then I feel there’s not a big enough gap before his bedtime milk. I’m also not sure how many feeds or how much cows milk he should be having per day. Feel like I’ve got myself in a bit of a muddle, and would love some thoughts on how best to wean from breastfeeding, introduce cows milk, and avoid feeding to sleep! Sorry this is so long!

Bump in the hope that someone will have some wise words for me!
