How much milk for an 18 month old?

[MatildasMumma2410]

Hi all,

How much whole milk (in ounces) should my almost 18 month old dd be having during the day if she already has a couple of ounces of milk each night when she wakes? She has breakfast, lunch and dinner (but she's not a big eater) and she has around 9 ounces of whole milk before bed. I've read some parents give their LO's a bottle in the morning as well as bedtime but where my dd still had a small night feed I'm reluctant to in case she loses her appetite for breakfast (and a knock on effect for the rest of the day).

I'm just wondering what the guidelines are to ensure she's getting enough?

Thanks :)

No idea what they 'should' have, but at 18mths my second daughter (now 21mths) was drinking about 150-200mls of regular full fat milk before breakfast and before bed. Along with 3 meals, 2 snacks and the occasional extra cup of milk if she looked hungry.

The minimum until she's 2 is 300ml in 24 hours.

Mine had 8oz when he woke up and 8oz before bed. It is the same now he is 2. He wakes at 7 and typically has breakfast at 8.30 so no impact on appetite.

My 2.5 year old has about 450ml per day! Semi skimmed though

My 19 month old has very little milk. She has some on cereal for breakfast and that's it. She just won't drink it- I've offered it warm/cold, many different cups etc but to no avail. I give her lots of other dairy to me make up for it.
