When to drop a feed?

[WndrlndsOwl]

My daughter is 8 months. Right now she eats:
5:30-6:00 milk
7:30-8:00 oatmeal
11:00 milk
Nap
12:30 lunch (meat, about 2 ounces)
2:30-3:00 milk
Nap if she's willing
5:00-5:30 dinner (fruit or veggie, about 2 ounces)
6:30 milk
Sleep for night
Then she wakes once or twice in the night for a small feed normally around 11:00 and 2:00
She was sttn for a while but she's just started waking up to feed in the last month.

My question is when do children normally drop a feed, and how do I know when she's ready?

My LO is nearly 9 months and has feeds and meals similar to yours. He has just started sleeping through here and there so generally has 4 milk feeds, 7am, 11am, 3pm and 6.30pm.

I am just continuing to offer milk at normal times and he'll have what he wants. At the moment he's seeming less interested in the 3pm feed so I imagine he'll drop it himself soon, but I'm going to keep offering and he'll decide when he's definitely finished with it.
