When to drop milk feeds for a 1 year old?

[sarahhe]

I have a nearly one year old who still has a mid morning and a mid afternoon milk feed but generally only has about 4oz at each. She's eating really well at every meal so I'm wondering if i should drop the mid morning/afternoon feeds and just stick with breakfast milk and nighttime milk? She's probably only drinking it because its offered, she's a little foodie monster!

Thanks

Hi Sarah,
You are just ahead of us with your development (food maestro), but just saw this and thought it may be of interest.
Throughout weaning, continue to breastfeed your baby or give 500-600ml (1 pint) per day of infant milk (or follow-on milk from six months if you prefer). Give your baby a milk feed first thing in the morning and at bedtime, and other milk feedsduring the day. The timing of these feeds will depend on what stage of weaning you have reached, but you should try to give milk feeds after meals and you should limit the amount of milk taken between meals.
From 12 months onwards, if you are bottle feeding you can start to give whole cow's milk as your baby's main drink (but not semi-skimmed or skimmed milk).
By this stage, your baby's food intake should be good so you can decrease the amount of milk given to about 350ml (12oz) per day. You should not let your child drink large volumes of milk after 1 year (i.e. more than 600ml per day) as it reduces the appetite for other foods. .
If anyone has any more hands on experience, please share!!
