How much milk should a 14 month old toddler be drinking?

Question

She's not a massive eater but she has a healthy, varied diet and she's having about 3 oz of cow's milk in the morning, about 6oz in the afternoon and 8oz at bedtime. She's started not really wanting her afternoon milk and as she has yoghurt, cheese etc, I was wondering if she needed it.

Answer 1

The new canada food guide recommends that they get 2 servings of
milk/dairy products per day. A serving is 8oz.As long as she gets this minimum amount its is okay to allow more, just remember you are the parent, you are in control. You know what would be too much for yourself, imagine her tiny tummy.. Avoid substituting with juice, its a bad habit to get into. I think what she is having per day sounds good to me. You can find a food guide chart for the whole family and customize according to your daily activities just go to healthcanada.gc.ca for more information

Answer 2

That's pretty healthy compare to my 14 month old. He is eating way too much, he drink 3 times of milk, 3 meals of solid food, sometimes even steal fry chicken to eat

Answer 3

3 oz 4 times a day and 3 oz 2 to 3 times in a night,Don't feed with Cheese...Children's getting hungry before the bed time,as they do lot exercise themselves.

Answer 4

I just asked the pediatrician this question at my son's 15 month appointment. He said that as long as he gets 15 to 28 ounces a day he's all set.

Answer 5

My pediatrician said 16-2oz daily. But I say, if she eats well, just continue giving her a variety of foods and offer her milk twice per day.

Answer 6

She's getting plenty of nutrition from other things, so really she doesn't need as much milk now that she's on solids.

Answer 7

no she sounds fine. and i wouldnt get in the habit of giving her juices because of the sugar content. stick to water and milk.
i'm a mother of four and all my kids love milk. it's all we drink including water.
