Starting milk/ dropping bottle

Dd just turned 1. She has been on 4 bottles (32 oz) of formula. The ped said no more than 24 oz of dairy and I should try to drop a bottle. Any advice on how to do this? Her bottle schedule is as follows:
6am
10am
2 pm
6:30pm

I'd like to somehow drop the 10 & 2 bottle and do one at noon. No clue how to go about that!

Any advice is appreciated.

Starting milk/ dropping bottle

I just phased out the afternoon bottle. Def start 1 bottle at a time. Dont just take away 2 bottles at once. My dd was very stubborn about her late aaftetnoon bottle. She would have epic meltdowns until she got a bottle. Eventually it stopped.

The last ones to go are usually first and last bottle. I would up the food offering. Offer more meals, more snacks more water to make up for the bottle. I did that everyday consistently and eventually my dd o longer wanted her afternoon bottle. It took a lil bit but shr eventually stopped.
Until she completely stopped i put less and less formula in the afternoon bottle as well. And my peds had suggested watering them down a lil since formula is ao filling.she will start to realize formula is not a meal

I think it's important to note when she's eating table foods, too. When DS when up to 3 meals he dropped a bottle. Then dropped another when I added in a snack. He's 11 months and on 2 bottles a day.
