How much milk is your 2 year old drinking?
just wanted to see where we should be? do we start to reduce their milk intake at 2 years old? He is a really good eater, so the amount of milk he drinks does not really matter right?

Probably 8-16 oz a day. I offer her a cup with bkfast and dinner, but she usually doesn't finish either.

Re: How much milk is your 2 year old drinking?
Depends on the day. Sometimes it's 2-3 cups (about 20 oz), some days he prefers juice so it's less or none at all.
Yes, I give my kid juice.

Re: How much milk is your 2 year old drinking?
8-12oz? minimum
She gets a cup before bed. That's pretty much it.
During the day (7:30-6:00) its only water at daycare/school
She immediately asks for juice when she gets home. We serve up the motts for tots stuff.
Every now and then she'll ask for Milk and we give it to her but usually its only the last thing of the night.

1 sippy cup's worth-sometimes more if he asks for it.

Landon drinks a lot of milk. He has 6-8 oz in the morning and 6-8 oz at night. He will also sometimes has a 6-8 oz cup in the afternoon. So anywhere between 12-24 oz a day. He is on 2% milk. He loves his milk!!

Re: How much milk is your 2 year old drinking?
No clue. I don't measure it. DD gets a milk cup with bfast, lunch, and dinner............I would guess about 7-8oz at each meal BUT many times she only takes a sip or two, sometimes she drinks a whole cup, sometimes she sips it over an hour or two. I don't really worry about the amount because she isn't a hardcore guzzler of milk. Now water, that's a different story.

Hannah is the same way, she asks for milk more than anything!

DS too except he pretty much always has the afternoon one. I'd say he gets 18oz/day on average. I prefer to give that over juice (but he still gets his fair share of that too though  ) but I try to give it after meals so it doesnt make him eat less.

Re: How much milk is your 2 year old drinking?
I swear Nick could go through 1/2 gallon if I let him. But I'd say he averages 18-22oz.
He drinks 1% and still eats food, so I don't see it as an issue.

Re: How much milk is your 2 year old drinking?
She drinks about 20oz or so. We limit her other dairy b/c she has a sensitivity to dairy. We've recently switched to lactiad milk and we supplement with other dairy products.

So much for the mandated reporters you are!
Abby is offered about 21 ounces a day. She may actually only take 15-18, but she does get dairy in yogurt and cheese.

Re: How much milk is your 2 year old drinking?
Probably 24oz a day. I can't get him off the bottle. If he wasn't on a bottle I'm sure it would be less.
