How much milk - 18months ??

[mamatoizzywizzy]

Hi, just wanting some thoughts from other mummies out there on milk for an 18month old.

Just to give context - I BF for 1year. When my daughter turned 12months, I gave blue top cows milk in a bottle before bed to comfort and relax.

Now at 18months I am getting the feeling she doesn't need the bottle any more so have started to offer milk in a sippy cup after dinner and before teeth.

She doesn't seem to drink as much from a sippy cup than she does a bottle , so I just wondered how much milk a toddler of her age should be having ? She has it in her porridge in the morning , and she has plenty of cheese etc during the daytime for calcium , so I am wondering if the amount of milk she drinks doesn't really matter too much at this age .
Thanks in advance

My DD is 21 months and has a sippy cup of milk in a morning and before bed. Then milk on cereal and cheese etc like yours. Blue top also

It used to be something like 500ml per day including food, so no milk at all if enough in the diet.

No the amount of milk is not important as as you rightfully say, she’s getting plenty in her diet. They recommend about 12 ounces (including in food).
Definitely need to stop the bottles though for the sake of her teeth. It’s advised to get rid of the bottle at 12 months.
