Toddler Milk ?'s
I don't know why I am having so many questions/concerns over milk. LO is now 13 months and we have began to introduce whole milk. He can easily go between frozen breast milk and cows milk fine.
Typically, breastfeeds in the AM, drinks about 16oz of frozen breastmilk/whole milk at daycare, breastfeeds in the evening once (sometimes twice) and drinks another 6-8 of milk with dinner/before bed. So about 22-24oz of milk and 2/3 breastfeeds a day along with 3 meals and 2 snacks each day....
Is too much whole milk a bad thing? Does 24oz a day seem like a lot? I feel like he is getting a lot more milk than other kids. Do you feed milk with meals and water at other times? Why is this so confusing to me...

Re: Toddler Milk ?'s
My pedi suggested 21-24 oz of milk a day.
I typically give J milk towards the end of a meal so he eats his food instead of filling up on milk. We just started daycare this week so the routine has changed a little but he gets 5oz in the morning with breakfast, I send 15 oz to daycare for him to have at am snack, lunch and pm snack. He'll have about 5-6 oz with/after dinner and then just a couple oz before bed.

That's a lot of milk -- its the fact that it is so much on top of all the breastfeeding.
At that age, DS was nursing morning and night, and getting 5 ounces of some combo of BM/whole milk twice a day. So basically four "milk" feedings for roughly 20 ounces total.
Too much cow's milk can make kids iron deficient. I never gave more then 2 cups/day. I think 24 oz sounds high but I would ask the pedi.
eta: I always gave/give milk on it's own and not right before/with a meal. It can fill them up and keep them from eating all their food. I am crazy anti juice Mommy so I only give water with meals. She gets milk in the morning and then one other time in the afternoon.
hth.
You are not crazy. Jack doesn't get juice either. In fact, every food/snack/drink that is geared towards kids, Jack does not get. So I guess I'm crazy.

Thanks. I couldn't figure out how the change from breastmilk to whole milk changes feedings.
