How much milk does a 19 month old 'need'?

Ds is 19 months and drinks his water from a beaker but refuses to have his milk from a beaker, he would rather go without it than have it from a beaker.
He has a bottle after his breakfast and another just before bed. He is eating 3 decent varied meals and plenty of yogurts and cheese.
Do you think i should stop his bottles altogether or carry on giving him his milk from a bottle.
Any advice would be great .

I would carry on giving the bottles, milk is still very good and he is still a baby especially in the evenings!

a minimum of the equivalent of 350mls is recommended from 1 year so it is not so important now. I would maybe give a beaker of milk along with breakfast and keep the bedtime bottle for now. I would only phase out the bedtime bottle when he starts to take a bit more from the cup.
