He eats yogurt every morning and cheese with lunch and dinner so we don't worry too much about his milk intake at this point. </p> <p>Some days he'll only take a sip or two of milk... or any liquid, for that matter. Other days he'll guzzle an entire cup of milk in one shot. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-milk-does-your-lo-have-a-day#post-82824 Mon, 27 Feb 2012 13:42:30 +0000 T.H.O.U. 82824@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My LO takes between 15-16 ounces while at daycare in a ten hour day. Shes been taking this much since she was three months old and is just now starting solids but I don't see a decrease coming yet. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-milk-does-your-lo-have-a-day#post-82796 Mon, 27 Feb 2012 13:16:57 +0000 looch 82796@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Not a lot, my son's not a drinker, he's an eater. Right now at 14 months he drinks 2 bottles of cow's milk, about 8 ounces each. He dropped the bottle before bed at 9 months, I think.</p> <p>He drinks water during the day and with meals, and he's steadily gaining, so I don't worry too much about it. I personally don't get the reliance on milk for the bulk of calories and fat. There are other ways to get nutrition into kids, but I do understand that if the kids are picky, milk is an easy way! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-milk-does-your-lo-have-a-day#post-82738 Mon, 27 Feb 2012 12:14:48 +0000 Mrs. Jacks 82738@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Little Jacks doesn't drink any milk... so we work really hard to get her yogurt and cheese. Sometimes she'll take cereal with milk, but mostly she prefers it dry. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-milk-does-your-lo-have-a-day#post-82711 Mon, 27 Feb 2012 11:58:32 +0000 mrbee 82711@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Rubies: I have a friend who weighs her LO before and after each feeding! I thought that was so clever!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-milk-does-your-lo-have-a-day#post-82702 Mon, 27 Feb 2012 11:54:28 +0000 anbanan15 82702@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No clue. DS is still breastfed and only gets a small amounts of solids. He's getting plenty though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-milk-does-your-lo-have-a-day#post-82672 Mon, 27 Feb 2012 11:37:16 +0000 LivsMama 82672@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>well since I went back to work, she has had consistently between 18-21oz a day of breastmilk up to 6 months. Shes 7 months now and getting more into solids, so shes down to about 14-15oz of breastmilk a day plus solids. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-milk-does-your-lo-have-a-day#post-82650 Mon, 27 Feb 2012 11:25:38 +0000 Rubies 82650@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have no idea how much milk LO gets - but I SO WISH I could know! She breastfeeds only and won't even take a bottle of breastmilk so I don't actually know how many ounces she takes. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-milk-does-your-lo-have-a-day#post-82648 Mon, 27 Feb 2012 11:24:58 +0000 chopsuey 82648@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't keep track since she's nursed.. But she nurses ever 1-3 hours depending on hunger level. I want her to continue to nurse well, but would love for her to start eating solids better too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-milk-does-your-lo-have-a-day#post-82633 Mon, 27 Feb 2012 11:16:52 +0000 Andrea 82633@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No idea really. I stopped keeping track once we switched to straw cups at 15 months because straw cups don't always give you measurements on the side. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-milk-does-your-lo-have-a-day#post-82632 Mon, 27 Feb 2012 11:14:17 +0000 mrbee 82632@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Olive (almost 5 months!) drinks nothing but breastmilk... Charlie (almost 27 months) drinks way more milk than he should.</p> <p>We finally switched him to soy milk, which he drinks but doesn't enjoy as much as he enjoyed cow's milk. So hopefully he will be slightly less of a milk monster. We're trying to get his milk consumption down in general, so he is hungrier and eats solids better!</p> <p>How much milk does your LO have a day? Are you trying to increase their milk consumption, or decrease it? </p>
