Pint of full fat cow's milk equals how much yoghurt?

My DS is nearly 1 and has 2 breastfeeds a day. He doesn't like drinking formula or cow's milk from a cup or bottle and if he does it's perhaps 1 ounce a day. He also doesn't like cereals with milk in. He loves full fat greek/ normal organic yoghurt though so I am planning on giving most/all his milk needs via yoghurt (as I plan to stop b.feeding when he is 1). The question is: how much yoghurt has the equivalent of 1 pint of full fat cow's milk in it?

from 1 year the recommended amount drops to the equivalent of 350mls (approx 12oz) so they dont need to take as much. It is the calcium that is important from milk and children between the age of 1-3 require 350mg which can come from any calcium source including non-dairy sources. 3 portions of dairy are recommended per day to reach calcium requirments. Does he like cheese/cheese sauces as that would be another good source?

from googling, 3 x 100g of yoghurt would cover the dailt requirements but I would use other sources too or he might go off yoghurt pretty quickly

So could he have yoghurt in place of milk for most of his requirements? He eats cheese but in such small amounts it's not worth relying on. I can't see him ever going off yoghurt in a hurry!

I was wondering this too, found this site which is American but quite good for calcium ideas...
