Cutting down bottles for a 1 year old

I have a 1 year old daughter in December. I am still giving her 3 bottles aday (of 3 oz). One at breakfast, one at lunch and one at bedtime (6 oz). When should I stop the first two bottles? If I continue, do I continue giving them in bottles or a cup?

Hock1 are these bottles with formula or cows milk? My ds was 1 in October and he only has a night time bottle now and has cows milk in it. All his other milk is sered in a cup or he has mlk on his cereal in the morning and cheese or yoghurt for luch dinner.

Hi Hock1. If she still wants it then I'd carry on unless it's affecting her appetite. My dd was addicted to bottles and has I've only just taken then away from her at 2.8 yrs. She was having anything up to 30oz per day. She is now a much better eater.

I'd just offer the milk in a lidded beaker. My 1 year old has 2 cups of cows milk a day - 1 just before/along with breakfast and 1 before bed. He has had the milk from a cup since he was 10 1/2 months old - approx 5/6oz in the morning and 7/8oz at bedtime.
