I know this question has probably been asked before but I just need some reassurance and peace of mind really.
Okay not so long ago by wee man was having 3 x 240mls and 1 x 180mls and he usually downed the whole lot. I cut back to 3 bottles as I was a bit concerned he was drinking way too much milk and just started offering him water instead. Well now its a stuggle to get him to even drink 180mls each bottle and probably drinking between 120mls & 150mls. Some nights he only drinks 90mls (like tonight) before bed. Admittedly he has had v & d and teething on top this last week and so far touch wood he still sleeps through the night. Should I be worried or just go with it? ------------- http://lilypie.com">

He's one, I'd just go with it. Does he have yoghurt/cows' milk/milo/cheese? -------------  |

Dietician told me today that Hannah at 18 months needs at least 500-600 ml of milk per day. But if he is having other dairy food then maybe not so much (?) cos obviously Han isnt having that stuff. ------------- Aimee Hannah 22/10/05 Greer 11/02/08 |

I'm still giving him formula. He does have cheese, yoghurt and custard. But he didn't have any of those today though as have to keep it bland.
I really have to do the change over from formula to cows milk but just haven't got there yet. ------------- http://lilypie.com">

| At that age Jack wasn't drinking a whole lot of milk cos we had just stopped bfeeding and he wasn't really into cows milk. He now loves milk but I only let him have about 600ml a day as well as cheese and yoghurt. Id say offer him dairy and if he doesn't want it that day its ok |

I think we figured out why he wasn't drinking much - he had v & d and was also teething as well, but we did get two lovely big teeth out of it. He's back to drinking his 3 x bottles a day now no worries at all. Thanks for your advice. ------------- http://lilypie.com">

Rhiannon is drinking 100mls of formula a day and lots and lots of water, i cant get any more formula into her, and she isnt into her yoghurt but is into her cheese, and i give her brocolli as well, as thats full of calcium.
i have found that rhiannon will drink banana smoothies and loves milkshakes...so thats always a possiblity...and if you make them yourself you know whats going into it. ------------- http://lilypie.com">

Well I finally took the plunge and have moved onto cows milk - well have cows milk and formula at this stage. He doesn't seem to mind it at all at the moment anyway. ------------- http://lilypie.com">
