I think part of your question didn’t make it through, so I hope I have the right info for you.
When you wean from the breast you in fact don’t need to wean onto to any other liquid nutrition. From 12 months most toddlers will be a full, healthy and varied diet and don’t require formula or milk to assist them. However, if you opt to offer cows’ milk as part of a healthy diet, then as long as your toddler is eating other calcium rich foods such as cheese and yoghurt each day then just one cup of milk is generally all that is needed in order to reach their calcium needs.
Excessive calcium can interfere with both appetite and iron, so it is a balancing act, the trick is variety. For example 600mls of milk for a toddler would mean they would not need to consume another calcium-containing food as they would have reached their RDI for calcium with just one food source. However, if you mix it up and offer variety not only does the calcium come from a wider range of foods but it means other nutrients are similarly balanced. I hope that makes sense.
Just in case you haven’t seen it, the link to the full tip sheet on milk and how much is below:

So, just quickly, unless recommended or if you toddler has issues with weight or her diet you don’t require toddler formula. You can wean her as you choose and offer milk or calcium-enriched milk alternatives as part of her normal diet (after meals and snacks).
I hope that helps, let me know if I have missed anything in particular you wanted to know about
