How many oz milk to 1 year old

Ladies, my daughter turned 1 on 30th October. I am still giving her formula in her baby bottles (I have 4 packets of formula left). I have gone down to 2 bottles from today and given her vitamin drops. How many oz/ bottles are you giving your 1 year old? I will be transitioning to sippy cup and cows milk soon.

Bottle fussing

For about a week my 11 week old has been pulling the bottle in and out of her mouth when feeding. I thought she must need to go up a teat size so went from a 1 to a 2 (MAM) but it's not made any difference. Has anyone else had this?
