How many ounces does your baby drink?

Question

How many ounces of whole milk does your baby drink? My baby drinks about 7 ounces 3 sometimes 4 a day. Is that too much? Whenever I do less she throws a tantrum and won’t stop till she has a bit more 😔 it’s getting tough but I’m not sure if giving her too much is bad? She use to eat pretty well but lately she’s been picky

Answer

mine drinks about 7 ounces, if that, 3 times a day. (plus about 5oz other dairy like cheese and yogurt) sometimes she doesn't finish her milk cup with her meal and we bring it out to play so she'll drink a little more. she has almost constant access to water but rarely ever drinks any so she's getting 98% of her fluids intake from milk. I'm guessing it might change a little in the summer heat 🙄

Answer

Our son has about 24 oz of 2% cow's milk a day. I think you're doing just fine!

Answer

No milk here, only water 😄 Hard to say how many oz a day, she drinks when she’s thirsty and goes to the potty x10 a day so I’d say that’s a good indicator if they’re getting enough or not 😊

Answer

I have no idea. I still breastfeed him 3-5 times a day though. He’s never had much more than a few ounces at a time when we bottle fed him. Now he drinks from a cup but we don’t measure how much because he doesn’t drink that much. 🤷🏻‍♀️ I just figured if he’s thirsty, he will drink. He has plenty of wet diapers, so I don’t worry. Maybe you can give your baby water too? I know that juice is discouraged, but we give my son a little juice in a cup as well.

Answer

12 ounces of whole milk a day at this point.

Answer

Our pediatrician said they need around 40oz of fluida day but no more than 16oz of whole milk. My daughter barely drinks 20 oz of anything a day 😕 We try to offer it every chance we get but most of the time she refuses

Answer

Well since I don’t give my LO whole milk, I don’t have to worry about it being too many calories or too much fat. 
When you use plant-based milks, it doesn’t add all the extra calories. Regular Almond milk, for example, is 60 calories per 8 oz.

Answer

When we switched from formula to whole milk our pediatrician told us no more than 16 oz of whole milk per day. My son is 14 months and has three 5 ounce bottles a day - morning, afternoon and night.
