Reducing milk feeds and Plunket

How have other people reduced their infant's bottle feeds? Is it baby led (i.e. he/she wants less) or do you offer it less/smaller quantities?

DS has 4 bottles a day (3 x 200ml and 1 x 300ml at bed time). He eats approx 1 jar of food 3 x per day (including finger foods) but my karitane plunket nurse thinks it's too much milk and he'll eat more solids if I drop his milk consumption.

I am concerned about dropping milk feeds:
a. because we've only JUST got him sleeping through the night, previously he was hungry and
b. he's a big lad (not chubby but long and solid at 10.6 kgs) and so I feel he needs it.

The solids consumption is an issue (if you ask Plunket) as he doesn't really like eating off a spoon so it's hit and miss and we have to offer more finger food.

Excuse me if this is rambly. Instinctively I feel we're ok but karitane/plunket have other things to say.

Thanks kebakat. Milk times all depend on when he awakens but they are at quite separate times to meals. Like at very least an hour before or after bottle. In the morning when we are onto it we will give him breakfast before milk but this does not mean he'll eat more.

yep im with cuppatea... (i dont know how much milk that is cause i dont do bottles but eden can have three or four milk feeds in a day and thats boobie and i wouldnt consider stopping and she is 17 mths!)
