How much milk are your babies drinking?

Question

My daughter didn’t do good with the whole milk so she drinks the toddler formula and for the past day or so she’s only had 1 to 2 5oz bottles she only takes it when she’s asleep as well. Should I worry? She eats 3 times a day and snacks so wondering if maybe I’ve just been overfeeding her solids ?

Answer

Over one they do not need a lot of formula or milk as they should be getting all the nutrition from food. My daughter only drinks a cup at night and a cup of whole milk in the morning that’s enough. I wouldn’t worry

Answer

We went off bottles at 13 months by his choice, he just lost interest. I had been weaning him off formula incorporating more and more milk and less formula. I was almost to 100% milk when he decided he didn’t want it anymore.
I tried 4 different sippy cups and no success with milk at all. He’s just not interested.
He’s not a huge fan of cheese yet either unless it’s melted, in a sauce, or in a grilled cheese sandwich. He loves yogurt thankfully!
My solution for now is to use a set of reusable pouches and fill them with yogurt from a big tub of it for before bedtime and sometimes before afternoon nap if he doesn’t eat well at lunch. (Who wants to high chair, spoon feed yogurt before a baby sleeps?! 😂). The grocery store pouches are literally twice as expensive as my filling the pouches. I use the Squooshi ones from Amazon. They lee easy to fill and easy to clean! 👍🏻
The only real concern is Calcium I think. So if you can’t get cheese or yogurt in try leafy greens. My LO hates veggies :(

Answer

On a normal day my son drinks two 8oz bottles of milk. One in the morning when he wakes up, then another one right before bedtime. Last week he was sick with a stomach bug so I stopped giving milk altogether and he was fine with it. Once he’s feeling 100% again I’ll probably start giving warm milk in the morning again, but I don’t want to give it before bed anymore. Also, we had to stop giving whole milk because he was getting constipated, so we buy organic grass fed 2% milk.
