How much milk does my 8 month old DD need?

DD is 8 months and doing extreamly well with her weaning. She eats pretty much everything (not eggs, honey sea food etc) and is having 3 good meals a day. for example she will have a good portion of baby museli with fresh fruit for breakfast, for lunch a chunky chicken and vegetable soup (using about 1/2 a chicken filet) and 1/2 a full salmon filet with corgette, broccoili and sweet peeper in a chunky consitancy. She will eat pretty much all of this as well as anything else that she sees otheres eating!
My only concern is that I dont know how much milk I should be giving her. She is now on formula. Any guide lines?

a minimum of 20oz is recommended between 6 months and 1 year

DD is 7mo and has 8oz when she wakes and 8oz when she goes to bed. I add 2oz to her cereal, and she has two 4oz milks during the day.

Agree with vodka 20oz is recommended, once she has reached 12 months you can swap her over to cows milk and she should have 300mls of full fat a day between 1 and 2.
