When do babies drop milk?

Hey, my DD is 15 months, she has a morning & bedtime bottle & eats 3 meals. This has been the same for 4 months or so. Is there an average age that you should look at stopping the milk bottles? Thanks!

It's advised to stop bottles at 1 year. They can still have milk but preferably from a cup/lidded cup

Not sure about bottles but they recommend breastfeeding until age 2. I would assume they still need whatever formula offers until then if they need breast milk until then?

My DC stopped having bottles around 12 months.

No, you can switch to cows milk at 1 year. Bottles aren't great for teeth so it's advised to stop them at 1 year too. They can still have milk but not from a bottle
