Whole Milk LOs

Now that your LO is drinking cow's milk-how much is s/he drinking per day?

We're still doing 3-8oz bottles of whole milk.  Just wondering if we should cut out that middle bottle now.

Feeding schedules are the worst-I'm always worried that she's not getting enough. It was so much easier when they're little and strictly bottle fed! :)

    I do 3 8  oz bottles too. The pedi said to keep it between 16oz and 24 oz.  I try to stick to three solid meals with snacks in between.

    Breakfast- 8 oz bottle  and oatmeal.

    snack- cheerios, fruit, or goldfish

    lunch- quesidilla,  sandwich, or something RTF, and her second 8 oz bottle.

    snack- same as above.

    Dinner- Whatever we are having.

    Her last 8 oz bottle to go to sleep.

    DD still gets about 24oz per day. She looooves her milk. I think it's going to be really hard to wean her off it. We've only been doing solids full time for a little over a week, so we're still working out the details there.

    DD drinks two 8 oz bottles of formula in the morning and before bed. I have over 400 oz of breast milk in my freezer that she refuses to take from a bottle, but she'll drink cold from a sippy cup! So she's gets a sippy with EBM at her 3 meals, and probably drinks a total of 8-10oz of that.

    I can't get JT to drink that much - he usually has on average 7 or 8 oz of WCM per day - I give it in a sippy only at every meal and most snacks and then in the middle of the day. I cut out 1 nursing session in the afternoon and I always offer milk then too.

    I don't have set times for meals, snacks, and sippy and I probably should I think. I dunno :( I still nurse 3 times a day...and he doesn't eat all that much at most meals (but does eat breakfast like a champ).

    She gets an 8 oz bottle in the morning but usually doesn't finish it and drinks 5-6 oz of it.  We send four 4 oz bottles to daycare, and one usually comes back with her and she has that one after dinner/before bed.
