My daughter is also approaching nine months and I'm noticing she may be ready to cut back a bit on her milk, too. We're going to ask the pediatrician at her 9 month well check, but I'm pretty convinced.
At her peak (around 4 months old) she was taking 6 ounces every three hours, now it's down to 5 oz every three hours, but I think she should go down to 4 oz.
She usually eats an entire jar of purees three times a day, too.
Also, I'm not pumping enough to sustain 5 oz bottles and I'm a firm believer that my body makes the right amount of milk for her.

Our pedi had us down to 4 bottles and 3 meals a day at 9 months.

I was mostly exclusively pumping around then and I think he was on 4-5 bottles of 5 oz.... my boy loved his milk! More like 5 bottles around 9 months, and 4 bottles around 10 months.

@agold: 4 oz jars. I didn't even know they made other sizes!

My 1 year old has been self-weaning since 9 months. My older son did the same.

At 9/10 months, DS was at 18-20oz per 24 hour period, with the biggest bottles being at home with me in the morning and night (6oz, 5oz, 3oz, 6oz). At 11 months, he went down to 17oz and dropped a bottle completely (6oz, 5oz, 6oz), so at this point I was literally only packing one 5oz bottle to school. The last week or so, he's been refusing his one bottle or just taking an ounce or two and is reducing his morning and night bottles to about 5oz a piece, so we're down to 10-12oz total per day.

He eats a ton and drinks water. He turns one today, so I'm happy he's self-weaning so easily. I hope to be done with bottles in another month or so. I still have a little bit of a stash and some formula left, so we'll use that up first. DS1 couldn't handle WCM until 13 months, so I'm going to wait a bit since DS2 is a bit more dairy sensitive.

At this point we sent him with 10-12 oz a day of breast milk. At some points his interest seemed to wake but it was bc he was sick. Nurses like a champ til I weaned him at 15 months. He didn't care, I sobbed.
