My little dropped his milk feeds from around 8 months to 2-3 feeds a day. Unless he is ill and the he keeps to be nursed more often. At 14 months he still doesn't drink much cows milk from a glass, I offer it after his dinner. But I am happy that he gets calcium as he eats so much yogurt and loves cheese!

This article is really helpful, thank you. It was worrying when Annabel (almost 11 months) decreased her own milk (breast) feeds to 2-3 times a day. I was concerned that she wasn't getting enough milk, but offering the breast more often just made her vomit. Its reassuring to know that the 2-3 feeds are enough.
