Formula schedule vs WCM schedule

DS takes formula when he wakes up, after his morning nap, after his afternoon nap, and before bed. Do I do the same schedule for milk? Seems like he should be getting milk with meals instead but I don't think I'm ready for him to drop his bedtime feeding. What do you do or planning to do?

    I switched to WCM at meals, and a cup with a snack at night, before bed but not at bedtime. It's kinda awesome, whole bedtime routine takes like 10 minutes....diaper, jammies, story, bed!

    I slowly want milk to take over at meals. I've started offering it with breakfast successfully. He looooves cold milk.

    @Manda-Kay we had the exact same schedule for formula!  This weekend was my first attempt at dropping the 2 after nap bottles.  This is what I did:

    Wake up: 5oz bottle of WCM

    Breakfast 1 hr later with a sippy of WCM

    After nap: Snack in his highchair with a sippy of water

    Lunch with a sippy of WCM

    After nap: Snack  with a sippy of water

    He also had some cheerios and mum mums before a later dinner.

    Dinner with a sippy of WCM

    Bedtime - 5oz bottle of WCM before brushing his teeth.

    It worked out really well yesterday.  He always has a sippy of water available while he is playing too.  I fill the sippy's about half full of WCM during meals (we use the short Nuby sippy cups).  I just measured - it's about 4oz in a sippy, but he usually doesn't drink it all and then I just save it for the next meal and add to it.
