how much milk does 14 month old DS need??

[chocbutton]

Ds is 14 months now and only has BF first thing, when I get home about 5pm and then before bed, with the odd time in the night. He drinks water the rest of the time. Should I be giving him something else as well? He is very happy and settled, but I just wondered if he needed more milk? He has lots of cheese, yoghurt etc but no other milk- what do you think? I always felt he got plenty of milk (I do feed him more at weekends if he wants it) but someone commented on it today and now I am unsure of myself.

If ds is growing fine and you have no other worries I would guess he is getting enough - also remember those fromage frais things have the equivalent of 4oz milk in them (or so my HV told me!)

When my dd was about a year old she went totally off milk and so pretty much drank water and had yoghurts and cheese etc - my ds is 17 months now and would drink milk all day if he could - both kids are healthy and fine - I would go with your instinct!

from 1 year 12-20oz is recommended but not all of that needs to be in drink form as milk in cereal, in foods, etc and other dairy products count too.

thanks you have put my mind at rest
