10m old weaning himself off milk...... is this ok? Help!

My son who will be 10 months on 17th of this month appears to be weaning himself off his bottles during the day. He still has them in the night (I've come to accept he just will not sleep thru- this is not an issue anymore) and he has some to go to sleep.
All in all during the day today he had one bottle, around 9 oz.
He ate well at lunch time but as usual he didn't have much in the way of breakfast. He didn't have much for dinner either.
This evening he has had another 9oz bottle before bed.
Thru tonight he will probably take another 9.

Is this enough milk or am I wrong in thinking it's not?
He used to have about 4 in the day and then all the above evening ones I have mentioned.

TIA for any help/suggestions.

he might not want it during the day because he is having so much at night.

i'd try to gradually reduce the amount he has in the night

but as for total amount i think he's having enough... 3 9oz bottles is plenty

i have tried to reduce the night ones but being 6m preg i tend to just let him have the milk! im shattered.
he seems to have reduced his day bottles by 3 but is not taking more than usual at night. (?)
