My LO would drink 12-16 oz of it a day. Our ped said not to give her more than 16 oz/day.

For the first two weeks she'd drink maybe two to four ounces. Then she had her birthday cake and polished off like six ounces to wash it down - cause nothing goes better with cake than a cold glass of milk. Ever since she's had about 12-14 ounces per day.

I wouldn't worry about it, my LO's never drank more 2-3 ounces a day around a year when I first introduced WCM. When they were a little older (15ish months) it increased to 6-10 ounces. I never give more than 12 oz. a day because they also both eat other dairy products. I also only offer it at breakfast and dinner because that's when they brush their teeth and the dentist recommended that they not drink it all day.

My LO still only drinks 2-3 oz of milk day. I don't worry about it, as he drinks a lot of water and eats plenty of dairy products.

@Smurfette: only 2x a day, and I don't think he's getting very much at all! Maybe a couple oz total.

When we first introduced WCM, DD would barely drink any (maybe 1-2 ounces all day). Same with water. Girl loved her BM!

Now that she is mostly weaned (down to one session per day), she drinks about 8-10 ounces/day of WCM and another 8-10 ounces of water. It took quite a while to get here - maybe 10-12 weeks? I just kept offering and gradually she started drinking more. FWIW, I nurse first thing in the morning, offer milk with meals/snacks, and always keep her water cup in the play area (she sips on it throughout the day). I keep her milk on hand after dinner as well - she likes to cuddle before bed and will usually drink 1-2 ounces during this time (we were giving her a bottle of WCM when I cut the bedtime nursing session, but she clearly prefers to straw cup to the bottle at this point).
