How much milk does a 2 yr old need?

[angelberg]

What's the recommended daily intake of milk for a 2-old? My 2 year old DS gets a bottle in the evening now - about 8 fl 0z - and sometimes has milk in the mornings on cereals.
I'm worried he's not getting enough. but don't want to over do it. The rest of his diet is a healthy one.

Thanks for any advice.

strictly, none - am presuming he eats cheese / yoghurt etc and leafy green veg for calcium

at 2 I would be trying to ditch the bottle tbh

I think it's about calcium at this age, not about milk per se. My almost 2yo has a cup of milk in the morning (maybe drinks 100ml on a good day) and milk on cereal, then various things like cheese or yoghurt or rice pudding so maybe 200ml milk during the day. Then lots of green leafy veg etc. to up the calcium.

the recommendation is the equivalent of 350mls (approx 12oz) of milk but it doesnt all (or any) have to be in drink form.

Thanks, all!!
