Milk and Feeding Schedule

I have a couple of questions... what is the right amount of WCM that a 12 month should be drinking? We've been transitioning to WCM yet DS is still drinking 20-22 oz of formula/WCM a day. He eats yogurt and cheese daily and I am worried that he might not be getting all nutriets he needs because of how much milk he is getting. We'll probably be completely transistioned to WCM in a couple of weeks and I am considering lowering his intake at that point. How much WCM do you feed your LO?

Also, if anyone can share their eating schedule for a 12 month old, that would be very helpful. I'm trying to figure out how to lower milk but still include it and not have 7 meals a day (which we currently have) unless it's needed.

TIA!

    Our doc said no more than 18oz per day, and the way it worked itself out is that she drinks abut 16 oz. she also gets cheese and yogurt on top of that.

    We switched to straight milk on their 1st birthday. My pedi said no more than 20oz of milk and no more than 5 oz of juice. And our feeding schedule looks like this:

    7-8 wake up and breakfast cereal, fruit, and 6oz milk.

    10:30-11 lunch depends on the day, and 6oz milk.

    2-3 when they wake up a snack usually crackers, and 5oz juice.

    5-6 dinner again depends on the day, with 6oz milk.

    They still get a bottle of water before bed when they want it and, they have a sippy cup of water available all day.
