How much milk at 12 months old?

[EmBeEmBe]

I'm getting in a bit of a flap about how much milk my DD is having. She has just turned 12 months, and I BF twice a day (first thing in the morning, and just before she goes to bed). She was also having a BF after her afternoon nap, but in the last week has been climbing off my lap to go and play so I was wondering about dropping that feed. Then I did some googling and read that she needs to be having 300 ml of milk a day. Obviously I have no idea how much breastmilk she is getting. So, yesterday I tried her on a cup of cows milk, which she didn't want. Today I tried formula milk (she occasionally has formula if I can't BF as out in the evening etc), and again, she didn't want it. She eats a pretty varied diet, with a yogurt (small pot) a day plus a bit of milk to dampen her breakfast cereal, she likes cheese and butter too. Should I preserve with drinking cows milk (or formula) if she ends up dropping the afternoon BF? Thanks. I'm overseas, so no HV to ask (I could go to see paediatrician I suppose...).

I wouldn't worry. It sounds like she is getting plenty of calcium and 2 BF's a day is great.
Keep offering the cows milk anyway as it's a good drink for them to have regardless, but I don't think you need to worry about what she's getting.
DD2 (nearly one) has 200ml formula before bed, and similar when she wakes in the morning. You'd be surprised how much breast milk she's actually getting.

My DD is nearly one and she has the same...just a morning and bedtime bf. I am trying to get her to have a sippy cup of cows milk in the afternoon, some days are more successful than others. I too make sure she has plenty of cheese and yogurts in her diet.

my one year old (today ) has normally 2 bfs.I reckon that's fine and she eats a varied diet.

so nothing scientific from me but general reassurance that I reckon its fine!

My ds was a milk monster and still had 2 x 8oz bottles at this age. Now dd is 11months and refused any milk apart from bf. she stopped bfing at 10 months but won't take any milk apart from yogurt, cheese sauce, custard etc. so she has nothing and is absolutely fine. I find it so weird though just putting her to bed without a bottle first, and she sleeps through (first time in 11 months!).
So I'm sure it is fine, I'm always guided by what they want even if it isn't what you expect.

My DS1 never liked cow's milk except on cereal - when he was a toddler he had morning and evening BF and that was it for milk. He ate (still eats!) loads of other dairy and drank water so I didn't worry about it, and he still doesn't drink cow's milk at 3. Apparently his dad was the same as a kid.
