Hello toddler mums!

How much milk should our toddlers be having now? Joshua doesnt have bottles anymore but he drinks out of the avent sporster beaker. He has milk in the morning and before bed and then water the rest of the time. Obviosuly he has plenty of cheese and yoghurt but I wasnt sure how many oz of milk he should have? At the moment he probably has 8oz a day of full fat organic cows milk. The thing is he's not bothered he'll drink milk if I give it to him but he's quite happy with his water so I want to make sure he's drinking enough!

Thanks in advance, Vicky and Joshua xxx

Lily's 17 months now and has a beaker full of milk with brekkie and another with supper but she doesn't always drink it all. I'm not sure how many oz it is but it's a small mug full. I use milk in her weetabix and give her yoghurt and cheese through the day. She usually has water as a drink in the day or sometimes a bit of dilute juice.

Apparently it's not good at this age to have too much milk with meals cos it makes toddlers feel full so they eat less and get less nutrients. It sounds like you've got it about right to me.

Isaac is 17 months old and refuses point blank to drink any milk, he has loads of cheese and yoghurts though so I am not worried about it.

hiya,Chloe is 13months old and wont drink milk, she hasnt drunk milk from around 10months old, she just went off it! i was worried at first so spoke to my hv but she said as long as shes having plenty of cheese and yoghurts then not to worry as its fine some babies just dont like it! so if i were you i wouldnt worry bout it

Thanks girls! Got to tell you all this- I went shopping today and I left a bag of food on the floor whilst I put the rest of it away...I turned around and Joshua was sat there eating a yoghurt with his hands from the bag! How cheeky! xxx

Lewis doesn't drink any milk - just juice which he can say lol

he lives on wotsits and chicken dippers!

my little man tyler is 19 months old and he drinks 200ml(8oz) at bedtime and that is it.he drinks pop or fruitshoots throughout the day.
He also has yoghurts too.
but no not really sure how much they are meant to have.
Just ask your doc or health visitor they should be able to help ya.
ok charlotte and tyler xx
