How much cows milk does your 12m old have?

[NadjaCravensworth1]

Just that really - the advice varies massively and I wonder if my daughter is having too much. Most days she'll have 3 bottles of around 4oz and occasionally one in the night. She's not overweight at all but she's quite small (9th percentile for height) - TIA!

She was formula fed until her 1st birthday when we switched to cows milk, so this is her entire milk intake

I have no idea if it’s ‘right’ or not but mine from 12 months (now 19m) has a cup of about 150ml each morning and night, I think nursery give a small cup after a nap too and occasionally with us at weekends etc she’ll have a babycino out and about, more so if it’s cold out I think a little warm drink is nice. She drinks plenty of water too so it’s not like it’s replacing that. I’m conscious not to give a lot of other dairy products like yoghurt and cheese etc if she’s had extra with us.

Some mornings I do only give a little drop of milk if I need her to have breakfast straight away so it doesn’t fill her up but I put the vitamins in it so don’t want to stop that. Some nights she’ll have very little or only half, it’s anyone’s guess but I always offer. Once she starts to to reduce, which I expect over summer I’ll try and wean her off it.

"It is suggested that at 1-2 years about 400ml of cows’ milk a day fits into a healthy balanced diet."
