How much milk & when for 9.5 month old?

Can anyone advise me on how much milk/how many bottles my 9.5 month old DD should be drinking?

She has never been keen on milk & never drank the reccomended amounts,but loves her solids.She has an 8oz bottle when she wakes-anywhere from 7.30-8.30,of which she'll drink 4oz or so.Breakfast is at 9am,with another 0z or two.For the rest of the day,she will sip water,but very little.She just doesn't seem to get thirsty & I worry about her with it being so hot.

Lunch is at 12.30pm with another few sips of water & tea at 4.30pm with the same.Her bedtime bottle is at 6.30pm,but she will only drink 1oz or so & I have taken to sneaking in after she has gone to sleep to get her to drink the rest,as it can't be good for her to go for so long without drinking.

Now I am wondering if I am doing it all wrong & need to rearrange our schedule,or if she may just not want a bedtime bottle anymore?

Hi Mirage,
I posted a similar thread here My DS is 9 months and just cut down to two feeds..

Does she have milk in here breakfast? Does she eat yoghurts/petit filous etc. all this counts towards milk intake so she's probably taking more than you think. I must admit to not giving DS much to drink with his tea as I know this puts him off his bedtime bottle. Just keep offereing water during the day but if you're really worried than I would talk to your HV.
