DD currently drinks two bottles, 5 oz each, plus about 3 oz of milk in sippies with meals. That makes her total 13 oz per day. I'm afraid to drop the bottles becuase I worry she won't drink enough.
Did your DC drink more from cups when dropping bottles?
She has about 2-3 ounces in a sippy with breakfast, than a 5 oz bottle around 10:30, a 6 oz bottle around 3:30, and a 6 oz bottle around 8pm. So it totals about 20oz of milk. It took a while for her to get used to the whole milk, so I'm slowly working on cutting back on her bottles.
I mix about 7-8 oz. of chocolate milk (the only way I can get her to drink it) at lunch and she finishes whatever's left at dinner.
I am also still BFing, though, and I drink a lot of milk, plus she eats a fair amount of cheese and she has 4 oz. of yogurt for breakfast every morning. I'm not worried about her not getting enough...
She also eats cheese and yogurt regularly and has water available between meals.
She used to drink 6 ounces of EBM at a time from the bottle and now only drinks 2-3 ounces of milk at a time from the sippy. From talking to my friends, drinking fewer ounces from the sippy is totally normal.

DD is not a big milk fan. On a good day we've had 11 oz and a bad day between 6 - 7 oz. Needless to say we supplement a lot with yogurt, cheese etc whenever we can. Now water on the other hand is a diffferent story. She loves it and will guzzle it down. She drink's about 8 oz of water consistently every day.

Does she also drink water or juice?
DS probably drinks about 8 oz of milk a day, and maybe 4-6 oz water. He gets additional dairy from yogurt and cheese. Pedi was fine with it.
12-16 ounces
