15 Months - how much milk?

36 replies

Mikafan · 07/08/2008 08:38

My DD is 15 months and at present has 4 bottles a day, they are as follows
06.30 - 5 fl oz
10.00 - 4 fl oz
3.00 - 4 fl oz
6.30 - 5 fl oz

Can anyone tell me if this sounds right? I suspect she may now be getting a bit too much and maybe need to cut down on the 10am and 3pm bottles. She has 2 small yoghurts after her lunch aswell.

Thanks.

Dd has eaten Pringles quite a few times. I know, full of salt, and I always feel bad. She just looks at dh so hopefully and he always gives in.

Bad parent alert.

unfortunately he loved them.

So not such a health nut after all.... Still loves his fruit and veg though, for now at least!

if I'm eating a solero I bite off the iced bit from the outside then dab the rest of the lolly onto DD's tongue and she loves it, opens her mouth and sticks her tongue out for me, grunting her displeasure if I'm too slow

Everyone check out this site for really helpful guidelines for babies 18mth+ and milk intake. Cows milk is low in iron. Toddlers need more iron from food now and if they have too much cows milk, it can irritate the lining of the intestine, cause bleeding in the stool and iron is then lost through the stools. I have recently cut out my son's morning milk drink but I think I may reinstate it. Milk can stop absorbtion of iron in the bowel. I'm really confused as up to the age of two they still need thier milk and whole milk at that. I'm not getting any help from the health visitors and they have now cut out the 18 mth checks. My son won't be checked until he is 2 if I'm lucky but I won't hold my breath as the hv is crap and I haven't seen them since my son was 9mths. You can never get hold of them when you need them. Also, there is this whole debate about trying to get them to drink from a cup and not a bottle from 18mths. My son loves his bottle and it's a great comfort to him in the evening. I would feel bad taking it away! Anyone else?

can't get my 19mth old to eat ice cream or chocolate. He's not interested! CAN HE BE MINE?!!!! HEHEHE [SHOCK]

My DD drinks no milk at all. She is 14 months old.

She does have milk with her weetabix in the morning though and yoghurt, cheese etc.
