Re: milk question
She has about a cup a day.
How much should LO have? 2 and 1/2 cups?
My son still drinks a lot of milk...24oz average everyday for sure and when he's sick and not wanting to eat anything, he'll still ask for milk and drink more than 24oz. He also drinks a lot of water throughout the day. No juice.
I want him to drink less milk, but part of the "problem" is that he is still in the 6-12 month baby room at DC and moving up next week. So they still give him milk when he used to get bottles (but not as much milk as before) to maintain his current schedule. In his next room they will only serve with meals. Which is what I would like to get to now. He is very much a routine and habit boy, so right now on the weekends he asks for milk like clockwork at the time they normally give him at DC. He is a very big boy too - he drinks all of this milk + eats good meals. My pedi wasn't concerned, but I am still nervous that all of his milk intake is making him overweight.
I also believe with PP that milk is not absoltely necessary. He would be fine without or with less but at this point just trying to break some routine habits leftover from baby days:) I even find myself trying to break DH from thinking milk are for meals...he will say "are you hungry, do you want some milk?" and I have to correct him and say "milk is for thirst, not meals anymore".
