How much milk is your 3+ year old drinking?

lmdbww

DD is still drinking about 16 oz of whole milk a day. (or some days, 8oz of whole milk and a bottle of pediasure).

Last night she wanted water with dinner and she didn't stop eating until 8pm. lol  She ate her full dinner for the first time in a long time. (She's a very finicky eater and there's not much variety right now.)

FWIW she's not big into cheese (it comes in spurts) and drinks an occasional yogurt drink but not daily, so the normal other sources for calcium could be lacking....

3 to 4 cups - we moved her to 2% or 1%. She LOVES milk.

1 of those cups I mix with ovaltine.

she is 3.5

8 oz of milk by glass and a yogurt.  You might try calcium fortified foods and beverages during the day or in place of snack time.

Sassystace

None.  She never drank any after we gave up the bottle.  Says she doesn't like the taste (not even chocolate milk).

2-3 servings (approx 4-6 oz) of skim milk daily, cheese at least once a day, and yogurt occasionally.  Water the rest of the day for drinks.

Our pedi strongly suggested switching away from whole milk at age 2.

A cup of milk with breakfast, lunch, and dinner and usually one in between there.  She loves milk!  She eats yogurt about every other day.  We use 1 or 2% milk.

He has 1-2 cups a day.  but he also will eat cottage cheese, regular cheese and yogurt.

Almost none - the older boys stopped drinking milk regularly around 3.  They love yogurt but only one of them will eat cereal with milk or eat cheese.

both drink 18 ounces (6 oz. 3x/day)...they like milk!  we use 2% but they are both totally normal-low weight and very good eaters.

None, we don't drink calories in our house.
