How many oz of milk per day?

crburros

Out of curiosity, how old is your LO and how many ounces of milk/juice/water throughout the day do they typically consume?

16 oz of milk, 4 oz of juice and 4 oz of water per day. My son is 18 months.

18 months.  Up to 30 oz of milk, maybe 20 oz of water, no juice (though apparently DC has been giving some watered down juice instead of just water at snack time).  His sippys are about 10oz and we just fill them up and give them to him.  He gets milk with the 3 main meals (hence about 30 oz) and water for everything else.  Doctor did say he should be coming down to closer to 24 oz of milk around now, though.

Our DD is 13 months and she drinks 14oz of wcm 2oz of whole milk yogurt and about 6oz of water..no juice

DS is 17 mos and has between 10- 15 oz of milk per day usually on the lower end.  He is not a huge fan of milk.  I give him unlimited water and never thought to count the ounces.  He only gets juice if he's constipated or if we are at a party or something.

15 months, 16 oz of 2% milk a day or roughly around that amount,and I'd uess about 8 to 10 oz of water a day..her sippies are 5oz and they're always around and daycare keeps it out for her to have whenever she wants. We haven't done any juice yet.

18 months and 8-9 ounces if we are lucky.  He will only drink WARM milk right after he wakes up.  He won't touch it at any other time throughout the day and he will not drink it if it's not warmed.

I've even tried to wean him off the warming and if I heat it for even 10 seconds less he won't touch it!  Very frustrating!  We just give a lot of alternative dairy throughout the day.

Almost 16 months

Plain WCM - between 8-10oz

WCM/yogurt combo (in smoothie) - 6oz

BM - once a day, probably not much 

Water - no more than 8oz

Juice - none

I always worry about DS not getting enough fluids, but he is peeing fine. He does eat a lot of fruit (2 Cups a day at least) so he gets lots of liquid through that route.

15 months old tomorrow...

Milk: 8-12oz WCM (with breakfast/lunch/dinner), and nurses 2-3 times per day

Water: 5-8oz (with snacks and between meals if she's in the kitchen asking for "more")

Juice: none (well, actually it's on the snack menu at daycare once per month - so she's had it twice since early January)

My DD is 14 months old.  She is still refusing cow's milk.  She nurses a few times a day, but I asked her pedi if she were to wean, would it be a problem that she's not taking the cow's milk and our pedi said no, because she is a great eater and would be getting everything she needs from a balanced diet.  When I had asked, I knew logically they don't "need" cow's milk but of course I wanted to make sure she was getting everything she needed.

I would say she drinks about 8-12 oz. of water during the day, no juice.

19 Months and she drinks about 18-20 ounces of water and maybe 8 ounces of milk per day (not a big milk drinker). No juice here.

DD is just about 22 months and we do 16-18 oz of milk per day with 20 oz being the max per her pedi).  For water, I'd say she drinks 8-16 oz per day.  And we don't offer juice.

18 months and 24 oz of milk typically.  That was the guideline given to us at his 15 month appt.  That's 3 sippy cups.  My son would probably drink a gallon a day if I let him.

Oh, and no juice here either.  I'd say as for water he drinks very little.  Probably 6 oz or less a day.

Milk: between 16 and 20 oz depending on the day

no juice

22 months and we don't track amounts anymore. He gets something like:

-3-4 sippies of WCM: on waking, around lunch/nap time, sometimes after naptime, with dinner.
-water sippy available all the time. He probably drinks 1-1.5 sippies worth of water/day
-no juice (except prune jc in constipation emergencies)

DD1: 21 months
Organic WCM: 15-20oz - although pedi says we should cut that down little by little to around 10oz
Water: unlimited, usually about 20-30oz
Juice: none

*Sometimes she has a little Kefir mixed in with her milk, about 1-2oz
