How much milk?

[JPVM]

I have a 1 year old son (just turned 1) and my health visitor says he should only have 2 beakers of milk a day now.. but he normally has one to wake up, one before morning nap and one before bedtime.. and they're in a bottle - which she also said I should get rid of. I tried the other day to take out a bottle feed and it just upset him.
What does everyone else do for their babas?
Confused now. Lol!

A 12 month old can get enough calcium and vitamin D from 8 to 12 oz of cow's milk – or the equivalent amount of other milk products, like yogurt or cheese. If they drinks too much, it can interfere with their iron intake and all that milk fills up their tummy, so they won’t have room for solids.
Bottle-feeding causes milk to pool around their teeth, which can cause cavities, so aim to switch to a trainer cup or a proper open cup soon.
He no longer needs a bedtime milk feed, but dropping this feed will take a bit of work, as it’s probably part of his sleep routine. Make sure you have a good, calming bedtime routine in place if you want to drop this feed, offering a cup of milk or a milky supper like porridge instead of a bottle.
The longer you keep giving that bedtime bottle, the harder it seems to do away with it, for both you and your DS. You can do it gradually, or you can do it cold turkey. With my youngest, I started by serving the bedtime bottle chilled rather than warm which made it much less enticing. Then I replaced the milk with water, which they liked even less. When I finally took the bedtime bottle away, they weren’t all that crazy about it anyway, so it wasn’t a big deal.
Another way of doing it is to dilute the milk progressively when you give your DS a bottle and offer them non- diluted milk in a cup. Gradually, they will realize that the milk in the cup is tastier than that in the bottle.
You can introduce a stuffed toy or blanket so that your DS can snuggle with it after drinking from a cup. This way, they can substitute the comfort they get from sucking.
The change won’t happen overnight. It will be gradual but if nothing seems to be working, take a break for a few days and start all over again.

We swapped to a sippy cup in the morning first, then at bedtime about a month or so later. He drank less from a cup than from a bottle so that might help reduce the amount he drinks naturally. He still sometimes has 3 cups a day, only the morning one is ever fully drained though.
