How much milk does your toddler have? Is my 14 month old having too much milk?

[babybear11]

Hey! My lo is 14months nearly and drinks between 35-40oz of milk a day. He is also on nutramigen aa for cmpi! I was worried about the intake but his pead was happy and said he doesn't mind hd how much solids he has as long as he is drinking milk! I get 4 tubs a week x

Do you find it a challenge to get 4 tubs a week on prescription? I am so stressed out with my surgery not being understanding about this. I feel like I'm in a position sometimes where I don't want to give DS his wheetabix in the morning etc for fear of using the formula!

Did your Pediatrician say anything about nutrition and calcium intake. My LO can't have cheese and yoghurts, which it seems from the replies on here many are having. I just thought maybe because of the CMPI and the Nutramigen perhaps there is a benefit in them having this amount of milk? My LO is a healthy size and weight and eats a good amount of solids too.

Nope no issue with the four tubs! My doctor can not comment on that as it is a pead diagnoses so whilst were under him he has the say. Do you see a pead? I believe their milk gives them all the calcium they need. Lo has no milk products so no cheese or yoghurts . I have tried a soya yoghurt but he reacted. For me right now this amount of milk is what my baby needs so i am not worried. He still also has night feeds but drains 7oz so must be hungry. My lo has followed between the 75th and 91st centile since he was born. We saw a dietrician few months back and she was happy with his diet both milk and solids if your concerned ring your local hospital and self refer .. Its nice to hear of somebody in my shoes x

I think her intake is okey, he has intervals taking his milk so that's good.

My kid would still live on milk if we didn't force him to eat a few solids now and then. He was easily drinking that much, perhaps more at that age. He's happy and healthy and that's what matters. I would say my son was having 48-56 oz of milk at that age. My pediatrician has never been concerned about my son's health. He's never sick and hits all his milestones on time or early.
