When should I drink a milk feed??

[blondebaby111]

My dd is nearly 9 months , our routine is as follows
7.30am 6 oz bottle
8.45 breakfast
11-11.30 5 oz bottle
1-1.30 lunch
3-3.30 5 oz bottle
5.30 dinner
7.30 7oz bottle then bed

My dd loves her milk still just as much as her food but I know by the time she is one these have to be cut down but I think I could be in trouble. What did u do?? Substitute milk for snacks, I'm thinking of dropping the 3.30 bottle but also not sure what to offer for a snack???

I offered fruits and yoghurt etc for snacks. I would maybe do a snack and a small milk feed at first. My son dropped the feeds around 14-15 months, moved to snacks and now eats three huge meals, milk before bed and a very small snack. If he snacks he isn't hungry for his meals. So go by what your child wants to do.

My DS is 8 months and decided he was dropping his mid morning feed last week, just refused the bottle. He's gone from a very very similar routine to something like this...

7.30 - 7oz milk
9 - breakfast
12/12.30 - lunch
2.30/3 - 7oz milk
4.30/5 - dinner
7.15 - 7-8oz milk and bed

He does have a fair bit of cows milk in his porridge for breakfast though and when he started refusing it I upped the amount of porridge and he's eating it all as well as a slightly bigger lunch and dinner.

Just realised my thread title, it should say dropped!! that would just be weird if I drank her milk!! Thanx ladies, I was fully prepared to just let her drop her feed herself but her 11am one she needs to nap that's why I'm thinking drop the 3.30 but I guess there's no real rush yet. She does have cows milk with her cereal in the morning.

Id go with the flow, babies are pretty good at telling you when they are and aren't hungry. My DS naps at about 10:30 ish doesn't seem to bother him that he hasn't had milk since 7.30.
