My son drinks milk in the morning and before bed and I feel it's enough. He gets dairy in other forms and I am fine with that. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/milk-or-water-for-the-toddler-at-dinner#post-831896 Wed, 05 Jun 2013 07:11:18 +0000 regberadaisy 831896@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mediagirl: I do milk at meal times and alternate water/kefir during snack time. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/milk-or-water-for-the-toddler-at-dinner#post-831888 Wed, 05 Jun 2013 07:06:27 +0000 T.H.O.U. 831888@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We do milk at meal time and water at snack time plus offer a cup of milk while we are reading stories and bed time. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/milk-or-water-for-the-toddler-at-dinner#post-831885 Wed, 05 Jun 2013 07:02:14 +0000 Weagle 831885@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've been trying to give milk at any meal or snack that we eat at home. Her water cup is always out, so she gets that anytime she wants. She drinks water really well, but milk is more of a struggle. I figure she could get more thirsty at meals, and therefore be more likely to drink milk and get those calories. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/milk-or-water-for-the-toddler-at-dinner#post-831881 Wed, 05 Jun 2013 06:56:12 +0000 autumnlove 831881@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I give her both but I put less water in her cup </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/milk-or-water-for-the-toddler-at-dinner#post-831877 Wed, 05 Jun 2013 06:47:51 +0000 FarmWifeGina 831877@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Well, mine are old enough to tell me know, but I've always offered milk since they tend to distractible eaters and I worry about them actually being full when they leave the table. The milk helps keep them full, I guess, or that's how it seems like it should work. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/milk-or-water-for-the-toddler-at-dinner#post-831874 Wed, 05 Jun 2013 06:44:58 +0000 mediagirl 831874@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have been offering water at dinner but noticed M will sometimes drink an entire cup of water at that meal. Should I offer milk instead so she gets her milk for the day and doesn't fill up on water and not want her milk? Offer both? </p>
