Had he dropped to much milk

Hi my ds is 14 months, he has a huge appetite and was having 4 7oz formula bottles a day plus 3 meals, my hv said about a month ago to drop him down to 3 7oz bottles a day which we did. Now he seems ok being on just 2 7oz bottles a day. He has a big bowl of porridge and bottle for brekkie then a sandwich and goodies puffs for dinner then something like pasta or sausages or mash and veg for tea and a yoghurt for afters. Normally he'd have a bottle straight after to them another bottle at 8pm but he seems ok not to have his tea time one. He's perfect weight, he's in the 9th centile for weight and height. Was born in the 4th then dropped to the 2nd and now had been following the 9th for months and hv is very pleased with him. Just don't want him to lose weight. He goes on cows milk next week aswell

My dd2 stopped drinking milk completely at 14 months. I was worried too but the HV said that it was fine, as long as she had a good diet and was getting dairy in other ways (which she was)
She is almost 2, and perfectly healthy, growing just as she should... I think your son will be just fine

If he seems happy, I think that sounds absolutely fine. At that age, my daughter was also dropping from 3 to 2 bottles/cups of milk a day (about 210 ml each). At 15 months, she dropped to just one cup a day (210-250 ml) at bedtime. She's 2.5 now and still has that one, plus milk and other dairy in food. She has similarly always been small, but she did fine with that transition. Sounds good to me.

Thankyou, he eats cheese and yoghurts everyday and is about to go on cows milk aswell. Can finally stop sterilising and get rid of formula forever!. Bliss thinking I only have to do 2 bottles a day now, my daughter is 3 and still has a cup of milk for brekkie so hopefully he'll stay on 2 bottles a day for a while then I can give him the same as his sister, thanks again
