Does your toddler drink?
My oldest did not drink milk at all so this is new to me! My youngest is already 21 months, but only recently started drinking whole milk. She's very, very skinny, so I'm keeping her on whole as opposed to switching to 2% or skim sooner.
Anyway, how much milk are they "supposed" to drink at this point?

I think no more then 24 ounces....
Ds has 15-18 ounces of 2% a day. When he gets up, with lunch, before bed. He's 2.5

DD is 22 months and drinks 20-25oz a day. It's more than I would like/think is needed. Just hasn't been a battle worth fighting yet. I'll ask the pediatrician in December.

Here the recommendation is no more than 750mL (25oz) daily. My 3.5 year old drinks maybe 5-10oz of whole milk (really I have no idea how much!) and my 15 month old refuses to drink it (still nursing).

22 months, she drinks around 14-16 oz a day? But she has tons of diary products so I never care if she drinks her milk or not.

Less than 4oz for my 3yo and my 16mo. We try to make sure they have enough fat and calcium elsewhere in their diet.

I think the recommendation is 2-3 cups, so 16-24oz, right??
Logan (22m) probably drinks around 24oz. He LOVES milk. Xander on the other hand probably only drank 12-16oz at that age. We gave him yogurt since he didn't drink as much milk. (all dairy free, of course)
