hi hun just thought id jump in quickly.
dylan is 14 months and still has his morning and evening bottle. he stopped having his afternoon bottle around 10 and a half months, but was running round like a nutter by then and wouldn't sit still for it, and wouldnt drink much so i think its best to keep giving it them till they start drinking less or refuse it. i replaced it with a small snack.
at around 11 months i started giving him a cup of cows milk during the day with his lunch (just to get used to the taste), and after a couple of weeks switched his morning bottle to cows milk, then by the time he had his 1st birthday he was having only cows milk. i know lots of people just do a straight swap from formula to cows milk but i wanted to ease it in slightly. also stopped sterilizing at this time.
sorry if thats not very helpful lol, was just my experience- i was constantly asking others for how and when to do it, and for a while i was very keen to cut out the bottles but now he's a big bigger im glad he has his bottles. he doesnt really need the morning one anymore but it stops him wanting snacks before his lunchtime nap so i think ill keep giving it for a couple more months x
