So they should naturally drop there bottles on there own, but milk is still their main source of nutrition until over 1. It’s good that you’ve got baby on 3 meals a day, I didn’t introduce a snack until mine was over 1 he used to have 2 bottles of cows milk 1 first thing on a morning then 1 in the afternoon, but I think when I introduced a snack he then wasn’t bothered by a bottle in the afternoon, hope this helps.

You could trade a bottle for a small snack instead. I would recommend the bottle between lunch and dinner.
I got rid of the morning bottle first. I just started offering breakfast before the bottle. When she was eating enough at breakfast, she stopped wanting the milk bottle after.
I also dropped breakfast bottle first. As far as transitioning to cows milk I started mixing it with my son‘s formula. He was drinking 8 ounce bottles so I would do 2 ounces of cows milk and 6 ounces of formula and I just upped the cows milk until we ran out of formula so after a few days of 2/6 ounces I did 4/4 and then 6/2 and eventually he was on just straight up cows milk. I did the transition over a month. So I think I did the 2/6 for a week and until he was on complete cows milk. I also didn’t want to waste any formula so I tried to time it out so I would use the rest of the can that I had. Because we all know that can be expensive
Mine is 11.5 I started mixing with formula then 1st bottle formula 2nd cow milk then 3rd before bed is formula x
You can probably cut out the one in the middle of the day?
