Mom of a 5 yr 9 m old girl4 years ago

Q.

My daughter was on breast milk and top up formula milk 90 ml twice a day. I replaced formula milk to cows milk once she turned 12 months. Now she is 16 months and I would like to stop cows milk and only breastfeed. She eats well, 3 meals and 2-3 snacks. Is it okay to stop cows milk? Do I need to provide a replacement for that?
