How much milk does your toddler drink?

thanks!

He has 3 servings of dairy a day.  Some days it might be 4 or 5 depending on meals, but usually 3.  He has at least 1 cup of milk a day (he LOVES milk) and the other 2 are either milk, cheese, yogurt, cottage cheese, etc.

My twins will drink about 5-6 glasses of milk a day (7-9 oz) on top of their food intake.

She drinks a cup of milk for each meal, so 3 cups.  I don't know exactly how much is in each cup.

I actually was going to post a similar question.  Seems like R drinks a lot in general, and I was curious how much other dc's were drinking.

I'd say that R probably has 3-4 cups of milk and 2 cups of water a day.  She eats really well but is pretty thin, so I haven't really been worried about letting her drink when she wants to.

2 gallons a week.  Yes, we've tried cutting back especially after DS's pedi said that was way too much.  But it's hell in our house if we refuse the kid his milk.

Sydney still gets a night bottle, so 8 oz there.  Plus each DD probably drinks about another 16 oz on top of that.

My ped suggested no more than 24 oz/day, so we try to limit it to that -- 3 cups a day, about 8 oz each. If we let him, he'd easily drink twice that.

Good Lord.

I am lucky if mine will drink 8-10 oz a day. He eats cheese and yogurt, but not every day.

Two gallons a WEEK!?!?!?!?!

27oz a day. She gets 3 milk sippies a day. One in the morning, one before nap, one before bed.

She would easily drink twice that if we let her.

Before we realized we needed to regulate her milk intake more closely, she once drank about 70oz in a day. That's over half a gallon. So I can see how a toddler can drink 2 gallons a week, easy.

To wean her down from her milk addiction we had to measure out all her milk for the day and then we'd give her watered milk in between times we wanted her to have milk. The watered milk eventually was replaced by water and very watered juice.
