How much WCM are you buying a week if you are no longer BFing or doing formula?

edited June 2014 in May 2013 Moms
Hi, I am wondering how many gallons of milk your LO is drinking per week or how much milk do you buy each week.  I am trying to figure out a budget for milk.  Thanks so much.

  • A gallon lasts about a week. She isn't a big milk drinker, only about 12 oz per day.

  • A gallon lasts a week here. LO is at FIL's all day while we work, so she only has 7oz a day at home most days.

  • we go through about a half gallon a week, he eats his lunch (he gets about 5 oz with lunch) at Daycare.

    So I would say he drinks about 10-12 oz a day of WCM, but he still nurses once before bed and once early morning.

    A gets 12-14 ounces per day, so 84-98 ounces per week. A gallon lasts us a week and a few days-- A is the only one that drinks whole milk.


    All of this.
