how much milk is LO drinking now?

And how much water should they be taking in? I'm always worried I'm not getting her enough or too much.

According to my Pedi, and most things I've read they should get between 16-24 ounces of milk a day. DS drinks 20-24 ounces. It's on the high side, but he lost a pound between his 9 month and 12 month visit. The Dr. wants him to have the additional calories through milk, even though he eats a ton most days. We keep a straw cup of water available to him at all times. He usually drinks between 8-12 ounces a day.

Nora still nurses first thing in the am. She will maybe drink 6 oz at lunch and another at dinner. I give her water throughout the day.

Levi drinks 20 to 24 ounzes as he is on the small side. From 9 to 13 months he only gained and grew 8 ounces and 1 inches. He has one in morning, one before his nap and one before bed

When LBB is on milk exclusively his doctor wants him drinking 24 oz a day. Right now he drinks about 10 to 12 ounces at daycare and still nurses at home. He drinks water with meals at home and throughout the day at daycare

I think on average DD drinks about 24 oz a day. She can't get enough of it. I literally have to make sure she's taking in enough water during the day, since she would rather have milk!nbsp;

I struggle off and on with Nora. She's also had really loose stools the past few days, which I'm pretty sure is attributed to teething. I worry she's not getting enough of either sometimes.

I get about 16oz into Gator....if I am lucky. I think she is currently on a milk strike.

DD gets 8 oz a day if I'm lucky. We are having to work so hard to get milk into her. However, we're still BFing and she gets quite a bit from that in the morning and at night.

My pedi wasn't worried; just said to make sure to get plenty of cheese, yogurt, and other full-fat dairy into her. Luckily she loves cheese and greek yogurt so she eats a ton of both of those things every day.

DD doesn't get nearly enough. I am actually going to talk to the pedi about it again today. On a good day she will drink abotu 8 oz. She does eat plenty of dairy (yogurt, cheese)
