How much milk does your DC drink per day?
Mine drinks like 35 oz. Too much!!! We are making an effort to reduce that by only offering her water inbetween meals. We don't do juice, per pedi recommendation. She gets slightly annoyed but gets over it quickly. And amazingly, she is not anemic.

Re: How much milk does your DC drink per day?
Not sure if I should be so worried since her weight and developmental milestones are right-on track. Her vocab is amazing and her speech is super clear, so I'm told, for her age. So, I'm sure she's getting enough "fats" from her daily dose of whole milk yogurt and 1 oz of cheese per day.
Honestly, I was the same way. My mom tells me I used to finish 1 gallon of milk (1%) every 2-3 days, by myself. I was a milk hog!!! LOL!
Anywhere between 8-16 oz. She usually drinks one whole sippy in the morning, and then mostly drinks water during the day unless she asks for milk instead.
This is a great point I hadn't thought of! She does down her milk like instantly! I always tease DH that we're going to have a beer chugger on our hands come college. Oy vey. I think I may try to take the lid off of the sippy at meals as well:) Thanks.
16oz, 8 in the morning and 8 at night.
We're trying to limit him to 24 oz a day. He could drink a whole gallon if I let him! Pedi said to limit ALL dairy to 24 oz a day so he gets a little more than he should but he's still eating well.
It does make me feel bad sometimes though because he goes to the fridge and asks for milk and I have to try to give him water instead. It's not like he's asking for candy or something kwim?

Carson has always been a milk hog. i quit counting after about 15 months or so.
he gets milk at all three meals and water the rest of the day. and sometimes a cup of milk before bed.
This exactly! I have no clue and it is never the same from meal to meal.
Almost none. I buy a quart (32 oz) and it lasts an entire week (though DD is in daycare all day and does drink some milk there). But she eats A LOT of yogurt, so I and the pedi are not worried. She easily goes through 2 quarts of yogurt a week, which I think has more calcium (oz for oz) than milk. I buy lowfat plain yogurt and lowfat strawberry or blueberry yogurt (all organic) and mix them together 50/50 to cut the sugar.
She used to drink more milk when she was still on the bottle (we gave that up at 13.5 mo) but once we were on sippys she would never drink more than 1-3 oz at a time (from a straw cup or regular sippy cup-- we tried every kind imagineable).
she drinks about 24 oz a day, but i am completely guessing. she does drink milk sometimes at the detriment to her eating, but not often. She generally eats a full three meals a day with snacks. She also nurses twice a day (though doubtful she gets much more than a few ozs)
My son drinks ZERO! Ever since I took his bottle away on his b-day-September 5th-he won't touch it. We tried Strawberry, Chocolate, Pediasure, everything.....We make sure he gets yogurt, cheese, etc. He always used to take forever to drink his bottles, and I assumed it was just because he was taking his time, but now, I'm thinking he never cared for it.
My daughter drinks about 24oz. per day. She LOVES, LOVES, milk.
