When to drop a bottle?

We just started weaning at 6 months and was wondering at what stage babies take less milk (formula in our case) or drop a bottle? She currently has 5 x 6oz bottles, roughly every 3 hours during the day (eg 8am, 11am, 2pm, 5pm and 8pm but feeding on demand so not set times) without a night feed for the last week. Before that she was on 6 x 5 oz bottles with one of them being a night feed. Do I just let her spontaneously drop a bottle?

Yes she'll do it naturally as food increases

You'll find she'll refuse one in particular so that'll be the one you drop first
