How many bottles/oz is your baby drinking a day?

Baby girl is 7 months old, still exclusively breastfed but I’m wanting to switch to formula - has anyone else done this? I’m not sure how many oz she should be drinking or how many bottles, she doesn’t really drink more than 4oz in one go atm but I presume that will be different when I completely stop breastfeeding?

Bottles/Milk?

Hi! Is the “no more bottles” due to worries of cavities? Or what’s the logic? My gal takes 2 x 8 oz per day. Sometimes on in the middle of the night. Sippy cup nipple on it. Just curious what everyone is being told/reading/hearing.
