Toddlers: 12 - 24 Months

Amount of milk

How much milk should a 14 month old be drinking? My DD gets 2, maybe 3 8 oz. bottles/cups a day. The rest is water ( she doesn't like juice) with her meals. Is whole milk still supposed to be the main part of her diet?

Re: Amount of milk

  • DS is no longer drinking from bottles, but he does have anywhere between 2 and 3 8 oz. sippy cups of Whole Milk during the week. On the weekends, I give him juice, water and milk so he doesn't drink as much milk. He's 15 months.

  • My doc just told me 3 days ago that between 12 and 24 months, a baby should be drinking 18-24 oz. of milk per day. (obviously that would be lower if you are breastfeeding too)
  • My LO is 17 months and drinks 16 to 24oz per day.
  • DD drinks about 3 8oz sippy cups of WM in addition to BM.

  • Our pedi told me that 16-24 oz is the norm but my LO would eat very little when I was giving him 20-24 oz a day. At 13 1/2 months he was diagnosed as borderline anemic so we totally changed things around since calcium hurts iron absorption. He now drinks 12-16 oz a day and is eating a lot more food. Gratefully, his iron levels are now normal.

  • 3 cups a day is pretty standard for this age. Any more and your LO might not eat enough food.

  • Our doc said 24oz max per day. Anything betw 18-21 is optimum.
  • My DD has 3 six ounce sippys a day. Our doc said anywhere between 8 and 24 oz a day.
