So when do you stop milk feeds?

DD is 12 months, a few months ago she dropped to two formula feeds. 6oz in the morning and 6oz in the evening. Since turning 1 we've moved her onto cow's milk, still mostly out of her bottle but she will drink from a cup.

At the moment when she wakes up she comes into our bed for her bottle, but she can go without and is happy to go straight down for breakfast. If I'm honest this feed is a bit more for us so we can steal a few minutes having a cuddle with her before she's ready to play.
At night she has her dinner, goes for a bath then comes down for her milk about 30 mins before bed, After her bottle she has a crawl about to get up all her wind. She very rarely falls asleep on this bottle because she gets bad wind (hence the reason for having it 30mins before bedtime). She will also take this feed from a cup unless she's very tired.

So when do we actually stop milk feeds and just offer her milk in a cup throughout the day?

Totally upto you. The current advice is to ditch bottles at 12 months and to give them 300 ml of cows milk throughout the day but its totally upto you how you do this. Mine were still having a feed at those times at your DD's age.
