Milk intake at 2?

DD has just turned 2 and I was starting to wonder about the amount of milk she drinks/food intake.

She wakes up early (this morning 5 groan) and i got up with her at 5.45 as she was yelling and gave her about 250mls of milk and she'll get offered breakfast at about 8 and she'll have a further drink of milk before bath and bed about 275-300 mls.

She is ignoring tea at the moment though unless it involves an egg is some shape of form - anyother tea she won't try.

Is about a pint of milk normal at this age? And any ideas about getting other types of food in her other than eggs?

Thanks.

they only need about 300/350mls at that age.

Thanks for that - i was thinking she was substituting milk for food - now the only problem will be convincing her to eat! She wouldn't even try tea yesterday and then filled up with milk later.
