Cut back milk: Kids can easily get into such a feeding pattern & often crave the milk. If they get all their caloric needs met from the bottle, they have no drive to feed otherwise. Cow milk can produce microscopic bleeding in the gut & trigger anemia over time so it's good to limit milk intake to less than 1000cc/day. If you wean milk slowly (replace with water) & continue offering food he should transition.
