12 months old & need cows milk advice

[Jotty101]

My DD was breastfed till she was 10months old, for the last two months we have had her on formula. Now she is 12months old we have moved to cows milk.

She loves cows milk, and we haven't had any problems moving her over.

However how much should she be drinking?
She doesn't normally drink milk in the morning. Maybe a few oz about 10 if she fancies it.
After lunch she might have between 4-6oz.

Now evenings before bed she has a bottle. She likes to fall asleep while drinking (with me being with her). Recently she drinks 7oz and then still wants more after, she may have another 5oz after.

Is this too much?

We give her a big lunch and then she normally eats a good dinner. Plus she is great at drinking water.

Also we give it a bottle, but since trying to research how much milk to give, I've seen lots of people chatting about the way you give the milk.. Moving to open cups or sippy cups at around 12months.

Any advice around this subject would be great. Thanks in advance guys.

350mls (around 12oz) are recommended from 1 year. I did switch to a lidded cup around that age too

My dd still has milk from a bottle at night, and from a sippy cup during the day.

We'll get to normal open cups soon, we're not in any rush.

She probably drinks around 12 oz a day

A 12 month old can get enough calcium and vitamin D from 8 to 12 oz of cow's milk – or the equivalent amount of other milk products, like yogurt or cheese. She can safely have up to about 24 oz of calcium a day. If she drinks too much, it can interfere with her iron intake and all that milk fills up her tummy, so she doesn't have room for solids.
Bottle-feeding allows milk to pool around your DD’s teeth, which can cause cavities, so aim to switch to a trainer cup or a proper open cup soon.
She no longer needs a bedtime milk feed, but dropping this feed will take a bit of work, as it’s a part of her sleep routine. Make sure you have a good, calming bedtime routine in place if you want to drop this feed, offering a cup of milk or a milky supper like porridge instead of a bottle.
The longer you keep giving that bedtime bottle, the harder it seems to do away with it, for both you and your baby. You can do it gradually, or you can do it cold turkey. With my youngest, I started by serving the bedtime bottle chilled rather than warm which made it much less enticing. Then I replaced the milk with water, which they liked even less. When I finally took the bedtime bottle away, they weren’t all that crazy about it anyway, so it wasn’t a big deal.

You need to brushing her teeth after her night time bottle.

Thank you all.
I made the decision to bring back the formula night feeds for now. She just wasn't settling on cows milk. We have a hard month ahead due to other reasons, so I figure we can look at changing/no night milk after that.
She has a few cups, so I'll start to try her daytime milk in a cup.
She downs so much water already, so that's a good thing.

We changed up the routine first. So milk before teeth. Then swapped it to cows milk and then got rid of the bedtime bottle around 15m. Each step initially caused some fuss, but overall the transition was smooth

And yes, like you, my priority was them actually sleeping and nothing was going to mess with that. We deliberately kept the bedtime bottle through various holidays and teething and moving house etc (over 2 kids) just for some continuity. They’ll get there in the end
