Dropping milk feeds

DD is 9 months and has been on 4 feeds of 9oz a day since about 5 months, plus blw since 6 months. Yesterday she slept through her late morning feed, showed no interest when she woke up but had a much bigger lunch than normal, and seemed quite content. Today she didn't sleep through it but didn't ask for it, again had a big lunch and is now having her second feed of the day, but looking like she won't finish it.

Does anyone know roughly how much she should be eating at each meal if she's dropped to only 3 milk feeds? For lunch today she had a mini pitta with some houmous and Philadelphia, a mini sausage, a spinach falafel, some kiwi and a Rachel's organic yoghurt for kids. A fair amount wound up on the floor of course. Does that sound ok?

Sorry, meant 8oz.

No idea re solids but apparently the minimum recommended milk intake from 6 months to a year is 20 oz a day.

Ok, so even on 3 feeds a day she's exceeding that (and on 4 was massively exceeding it-oops?!). I'm not too worried about her milk feeds, it's more how much real food is 'normal' for her age. She guzzles it away and I'm happy for her to eat as much as she likes while she's figuring food out and is hungry but I worry she'll be like me with my ability to eat a whole pack of haribo without blinking...!
