question about dropping nursing sessions

DD is 10 months and nurses 5 times a day and once or twice overnight. She gets some sips of water with her meals just to practice using a sippy cup. We rarely do purees anymore and she loves scrambled eggs, blueberries, banana, noodles, grilled cheese with spinach and turkey, etc. She has started to refuse nursing occassionally, so i just let her keep playing and try again later. I think she might cut back to 4 sessions a day soon.
When she starts to drop feedings and gets down to nursing only twice a day or so, do i need to offer her cows milk to replace the decreased milk she is consuming? What is your schedule like with your LO who only nurses 2 or 3 times a day? Do you just nurse in the morning and evening, and give them cows milk with their meals?
Thanks!

You should ask your pediatrician about giving cows
We treat milk like any other food. I don't use it in place of feedings, but at home I'll give him with meals if he asks for it. At daycare, they give milk at lun
