Is too much formula milk bad?

Hi, everybody. My DD2 is 1 next week (time flies), and very fond of her drinks. I was getting bothered because she drinks 2 9oz bottles every night, as well as 2 during the day, so was getting 36oz formula every day and that's before you add the yoghurts plus the breakfast with follow-on milk added that she consumes! So I figured she was probably having 45oz of milk each day.
As only 21oz per day is recommended, I've started watering down her formula (9oz water but only 4-5 scoops formula milk) and she still gets 21oz per day.
But DH thinks that's wrong, because she now has to be changed during the night as her nappies get saturated and her vest and babygro soaked! He feels all that milk wouldn't have been doing her any harm.
Incidentally, my MIL suggested only giving her cooled boiled water during the night but she won't take it. However, I am working towards that, as I will continue to dilute further her night feeds so eventually it's just water she's having - better for teeth I know.
I just want to know, have any of you had babies that drank way more than the recommended anount of formula?

DD1 was a monster for milk. Although I switched her to cows milk at 11mnths as a)cheaper and b)less filling

4 9oz cups a day until she was 2! I just let her have it, i reasoned i would rather she was drinking milk than squash etc so went with it.

Now at 3.4yrs she still has at least 2 9oz cups of milk a day.

When does she have her tea? Can you move it a bit later so she's not got enough space for the milk?

JARm, i'm going to change her over to cow's milk.
SM, I've tried to do that but it didn't work. She wakes up constantly during the night and will only go back to sleep each time after a feed (and pulling my hair!). But I'm after reading in another thread about "sleep training" described by fizzbuzz, and I'm going to try it.

My DD is two and drinks lots of milk,like JARM, id; rather she drank milk than squash, and as she doesn;t eat much, i know she is getting goodness from the milk
