When did you drop your babies milk feeds?

Question

My baby girl is almost 8 months old. 
She is breastfed once in the morning, once before her lunch, and once before her dinner. She then gets an 8/9oz bottle of formula before bed.
She drinks every ounce of that bottle, and is a great eater (porridge and fruit for breakfast, egg on toast or similar plus fruit for lunch, and a mix of meat and/or veg for dinner followed by pudding).
I'm wondering when to drop a breastfeed and what one to drop.
She eats every bit of food I give her plus snacks and loves water.
Edit- she also still wakes for one night breastfeed

Answer

At or after 12 months. Any solids before 1 is “just for fun”

Answer

Breast milk (or formula) should be a baby’s primary source of nutrition until one year old. After one you can start to drop breast milk/ formula feedings.

Answer

You shouldn't be dropping anything at this age.

Answer

Don’t drop milk feeds until they switch to regular milk at 12 months

Answer

This is almost our exact same story. My baby is 9mo and is an amazing eater, but is losing interest in bottles/nursing (other than a big bottle before bed that she almost always chugs). We brought it up to our pediatrician yesterday and she said as long as we at least try to offer milk first and feed her at least 3 meals a day, just to keep on doing what we’re doing until she’s able to transition to cows milk at 1yo. She said it’s normal for babies to start making the association that food is actually food/fuel and that milk isn’t primary nutrition around this age. So my advice to you would be to just keep on doing what you’re doing and wait to worry about dropping feeds until your baby is 1 👍🏻
