Adjusting bottles when weaning?

DS is 20 weeks old and we are starting a bit of weaning on the advice of the paediatrician - DS is very keen and is wolfing down veg puree! At the moment he has 5 bottles a day - 7oz each at 7.30am, 11ish, 3ish, 7pm and one in the night when he wakes. I give him puree at 3ish (he took 4 ice cubes of sweet potato). I'm just unclear on whether I should still offer him the 7oz bottle after the puree, or should I give a smaller one or none at all? I'll post this on weaning as well, but I just thought someone here might be able to give some advice....

Until he is a year milk/dairy is still the main source of nutrition. Don't reduce his milk intake until he is at least 6 months and then gradually he will eat more substantial food and drop a feed.
