Milk & Food question!

Hey all, so just wondering what others experience of milk and food us. My lg is 8 months old and has 3 meals a day, she's mostly feeding herself as has been very stubborn about spoon feeding so some meals she eats better than others. She has milk after breakfast, normally around 3oz, a bottle of 5-6 mid morning, after lunch and tea around 3 oz sometimes more and milk at bedtime. I'm fibe with this and figure eventually she'll drop the milk after food as she gets bigger and perhaps eats more. My question is just who else has a similar experience with milk being a large part of diet at this age, my lb who is 3 dropped milk after meals sooner and i think was only on 2-3 a day so this time round its a different experience!

That sounds normal to me. Mine was still having milk before meals with meals just mostly for fun (but still 3 meals a day) at that age. I think it was probably about 6 bottles a day until 9 months, then dropped to 5. We weren't at 3 a day until around 11 months. By 15 months, it was just a bedtime cup of milk. If she's taking it, I would continue to offer until she's no longer interested.
