baby's and milk?

Question

I give my 15 month old a 6oz. cup of milk for every meal; is that too much milk?

It comes to 4 cups a day - what is better or should we change the amount?

Answer 1

its fine. as long as she/he is eating well rounded meals and completeing what you give. the calcium is great.

Answer 2

It's best to limit the amount of cow's milk that your child receives to 2-3 cups (16-24 ounces) per day, since too much cow's milk in a child's diet can put him at risk for iron-deficiency anemia (because milk can interfere with the absorption of iron) and may decrease the child's desire for other foods.

the recommended number of servings for a child this age is 2 cups/ day

Answer 3

At 15 month, most nutrition for babies should come from solids and not milk.
Of course nothing bad will happen to her but it's better if her main food is solid (what you eat mashed). She won't even need milk if she has cheese or yogurt. but 2 glass of milk (around 15 oz) is recommended.
now is the best age for her to explore ne food and texture and if she has too much milk, she won't have appetite for solid.

Age: 12 to 18 months

What to feed
• Whole milk
• Other dairy (soft pasteurized cheese, full-fat yogurt and cottage cheese)
• Same food as family, mashed or chopped into bite-size pieces
• Iron-fortified cereals (rice, barley, wheat, oats, mixed cereals)
• Other grains (whole wheat bread, pasta, rice)
• New fruits: melon, papaya, apricot, grapefruit (citrus is now okay)
• New vegetables: broccoli and cauliflower "trees"
• Protein (eggs; cut-up or ground meat, poultry, boneless fish; tofu; beans; thinly spread smooth peanut butter)
• Citrus and non-citrus juice
• Honey is now okay

How much per day
• 2 to 3 servings dairy (1 serving = ½ cup milk, ½ to 1 oz. cheese, 1/3 to ½ cup yogurt or cottage cheese)
• 4 to 6 servings cereals and other grains (1 serving = ¼ to 1/3 cup cereal, ¼ cup pasta or rice, ¼ to ½ slice bread or bagel)
• ¼ to ½ cup fruit
• ¼ to ½ cup vegetables
• 2 servings protein (1 serving = 2 tablespoons ground or two 1-inch cubes meat, poultry, or fish; 1 egg; ¼ cup tofu or cooked beans; 1 tablespoon smooth peanut butter)
• 3 to 4 oz.

Answer 5

If its whole milk, that is a bit. If he is eating well and not just drinking his meals, it should be fine but talk with your doctor about switching to 2% so he gets the fat he needs but not too much.

Answer 6

It's up to you to decide how much milk to give your child. Every child is different, and every child has different needs and tastes. Do what works for you guys.
