We've tried whole, 2%, 1%, almond, vanilla almond...no dice.</p> <p>She drinks a lot of water and eats yogurt and cheese every day. </p> <p>Oh, and she does still want formula, and gets 1 cup of toddler formula as soon as she wakes up and one before bed. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-milk-does-your-toddler-drink-per-day#post-1020388 Thu, 15 Aug 2013 14:05:33 +0000 sarac 1020388@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>None.

And I'm not even sure I'd call it good...... Glad going to bed without milk is getting easier! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-milk-does-your-toddler-drink-per-day#post-1017776 Thu, 15 Aug 2013 01:11:00 +0000 StbHisMrs 1017776@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@artbee: i didn't mean to say that you're doing amything wrong, I'm doing plenty wrong! I can't even get her to brush her teeth without a world class melt down!! </p> <p>Today was easier, we were gone all day but she only had 16 oz of milk (2 sippy's) and she went to bed perfectly! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-milk-does-your-toddler-drink-per-day#post-1016158 Wed, 14 Aug 2013 12:46:55 +0000 regberadaisy 1016158@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>15.5 months and drinks about 10 oz a day. On the weekend barely any bc I forget to give it to her and I feed her more. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-milk-does-your-toddler-drink-per-day#post-1016147 Wed, 14 Aug 2013 12:44:41 +0000 chopsuey 1016147@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My DD used to drink more, but she drinks about 8 ounces a day of whole milk. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-milk-does-your-toddler-drink-per-day#post-1016126 Wed, 14 Aug 2013 12:40:16 +0000 heffalump 1016126@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@StbHisMrs: Oh, I didn't realize that. Hopefully she will get used to the new routine quickly. It helps my LO if she asks for milk (which is always, she LOVES milk) to say when she's going to get to have it next. I'll say we don't drink milk with dinner, but you can have it at bedtime. </p> <p>@Mrs. Bee: I'm thinking we need to get a new routine anyway since there will be a new baby and it will be hard to put LO to bed like I do now.... plus she gets her milk sippy and brushes her teeth in her glider, which will not be in her big girl room when we move her before the baby comes. I guess we'll start that when she switches rooms, give her milk at dinner instead. Do you offer anything before bed, like water? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-milk-does-your-toddler-drink-per-day#post-1015351 Wed, 14 Aug 2013 09:16:17 +0000 Mrs. Bee 1015351@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@artbee: if you brush her teeth it's not as big a deal, but the bottle cab become a sleep crutch that's hard to wean esp as they get older. Also you have to get rid of it to night potty train.</p> <p>We got rid of the night bottle easily, but then Charlie doesn't go to sleep a fraction as well as he used to. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-milk-does-your-toddler-drink-per-day#post-1015305 Wed, 14 Aug 2013 09:04:29 +0000 StbHisMrs 1015305@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@artbee: taking the cup to bed is a no-no, and that's what she does :(</p> <p>Thank you all for your input. I put her to bed with ice water and she screamed/cried/howled for an hour before falling asleep. Heartbreaking. She woke up 4 and ask for more, I will wash her cup, fill it up and give it at meals! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-milk-does-your-toddler-drink-per-day#post-1014910 Wed, 14 Aug 2013 03:01:23 +0000 loveisstrange 1014910@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>C drinks anywhere from 8-16oz in a day, depending.

Breakfast, lunch, and bedtime. I didn't know bedtime was a no no.... We brush her teeth after. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-milk-does-your-toddler-drink-per-day#post-1014902 Wed, 14 Aug 2013 02:52:25 +0000 erinpye 1014902@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>3 sippy cups, one with each meal, so 12-16 oz or so per day. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-milk-does-your-toddler-drink-per-day#post-1014880 Wed, 14 Aug 2013 01:52:02 +0000 Sweet T 1014880@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We give DS an 8oz cup with each meal. If he doesn't finish, I let him keep it until he does. I'd say he drinks at least 18oz per day. He doesn't always finish his last cup but when he does it's 24oz. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-milk-does-your-toddler-drink-per-day#post-1014875 Wed, 14 Aug 2013 01:42:10 +0000 Mrs. Bee 1014875@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Olive is 22 months and drinks none, but she is still breastfed. i understand your dilemma because charlie was (and still is) a huge milk addict. he loves it!</p> <p>he is 3 1/2 and drinks about 12oz a day in the morning and before his nap. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-milk-does-your-toddler-drink-per-day#post-1014848 Wed, 14 Aug 2013 00:24:13 +0000 sandy 1014848@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>She drinks about 10-12 oz a day...and she loves yogurt/cheese. She only gets milk in her sippy cup at mealtimes and offered again right before we head upstairs for naptime and bedtime routine. All the information from our pediatrician said to only offer milk with meals otherwise kids will not transition well to solids bc all of their calories are coming from milk. </p> <p>I pour a full straw cup of milk in the morning (10 oz) and she gets it with her breakfast and it goes back in the fridge and gets offered again with her lunch...back to the fridge and she gets offered the cup again before we head up for naptime, etc. I refill the cup about halfway if she finishes it during the day...and it gets cleaned out after bedtime and repeat for the next day. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-milk-does-your-toddler-drink-per-day#post-1014845 Wed, 14 Aug 2013 00:21:00 +0000 autumnlove 1014845@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>About 12-15 ounces </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-milk-does-your-toddler-drink-per-day#post-1014844 Wed, 14 Aug 2013 00:13:01 +0000 HLK208 1014844@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Only about 6-8 oz, which is kind of low but she eats a lot of cheese and yogurt + tons of water. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-milk-does-your-toddler-drink-per-day#post-1014840 Wed, 14 Aug 2013 00:10:39 +0000 luckypenny 1014840@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>10-12 oz? She has 6 in the afternoon Before her nap and 4 around bedtime. She sometimes has it in the morning (depending on how early she wakes up) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-milk-does-your-toddler-drink-per-day#post-1014828 Tue, 13 Aug 2013 23:57:06 +0000 StbHisMrs 1014828@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>She loves greek yogurt, but hates cheese. She's so picky and hardly eats what we offer for meals and I think the milk has something to do with that. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-milk-does-your-toddler-drink-per-day#post-1014826 Tue, 13 Aug 2013 23:53:48 +0000 lamariniere 1014826@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My toddler drinks 8-10oz, but he also eats things like yogurt and cheese throughout the day. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-milk-does-your-toddler-drink-per-day#post-1014824 Tue, 13 Aug 2013 23:51:15 +0000 StbHisMrs 1014824@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Maddy is 22 months old and I think she drinks way too much milk. Since I just had a baby I'll be home with her and I'm going to try and fix this. </p> <p>She is use to taking a cup at bedtime, and waking to have one STILL. I know both are huge no-no's, which is why she's been in her bed screaming for the past hour. No more nighttime milk. </p> <p>I'm just curious how many cups of milk a day you pour for your toddlers? </p>
