How many bottles should my 10 month old be having?

My son is 10 months this month..anyway, how much milk is about right? he has breakfast lunch and dinner and i would say he eats okay but not a big eater. He has 3 7oz bottles but dose not drain them all. He some time has 4 0z in the night too? when do they drop a bittle again? x

18-21 oz is all what they need at this age hun. Omar is also not a big eater. He takes 3 bottles between 5-6 oz & sometimes 7 oz at bedtime. He also takes 3-4 oz if he wakes up at night & stays awake for more than 1.5 hrs. Some days he wont go for more than 12-15 oz. He's on 3 solids with no snacks in between. I'm planning to keep giving him 3 bottles. at 11.5 mnths I'm planning to replace his afternoon bottle with cow milk, as I want to try to wean him off bottles & formula at around 1 yr.
