How much milk for a 9 month old?

Hi, DS is 9 months old, and I combo feed so some bottles are expressed milk, some are formula, and I bf overnight when he wakes.

I don’t know if we are doing too much or too little milk as I don’t know whether to reduce as he eats more solids or if that’s not getting him enough?

we try to do 5 x 150ml bottles a day, sometimes he will take 1 as a 180ml bottle (last thing) and he has 3 meals plus the occasional snack. The bottles are the same size regardless of whether it’s formula or expressed milk .. is this too much? Sometimes he guzzles it and other times he’s not interested at all!

how many bottles should he be having??

So he's having roughly 750 mls in the day and BFing overnight? I think that's a lot for a 9 month old. When he reaches 10 months he'll only need 400 ml a day.

I'd drop one bottle now and in a couple of weeks, when he's got used to having more solids, drop another.
