How much milk does your toddler/kids drink daily?

I half-cut juice but give whole milk because my boy is tall and lean, usually 20th to 30th percentile for weight while 90-100th for height so our ped wants as much "healthy fats" as possible lol he even encouraged olive oil in his food along with whole milk and whole fat yogurt etc.
Good to hear! Maybe this is more of a boy thing? My son is/has always been in the 99th percentile for height/weight/head lol and is even bigger than his older sibling. He will go through a gallon of milk within a few days if I don't dilute with water 😵💫
Could be. I definitely burn a gallon a week with him lol
Omg my son LOVES milk, he’s 2 and just now he’s starting to prefer watered down juice but he still asks for “miii” every few hours and hands over his milk cup lol
My doc had told us 2 to 2.5 cups per day due to fat contents. We drink almond milk so we started mixing regular milk with almond until my twins were fully drinking almond milk altogether. If weight is a concern you could try switching him but if not you should be fine or ask your doc in the next checkup
@Yami weight isn't a concern! No cavities from "all the milk" but just curious as I only have one other friend with a boy and she never gave him milk after BFing so no one to relate to. Pediatrician thinks the milk craving makes sense for how big my son is and projected to be (6'4-- men in my family are TALL) But as woman who is 5'5 hard to relate 😂 then feedback from said friend who is against cows milk because of hormones so sometimes i wonder if I'm not doing a good job by giving my son all the cows milk throughout the day as he requests 😔
Girl my 1.5 yr old will drink milk from sun up to sun down if I let him. I buy 2 gallons per week just to keep in stock 😭 I do part milk part water as well but that changes nothing! He’s obsessed 😭😭
My son is 2. He gets about 9oz in morning and night. If he gets milk in the middle of the day it's about 6oz. Otherwise he gets water and occasionally a little watered-down juice before 4pm.
2 5oz cups daily; he eats more food and likes more water and juice now
My youngest twin will drink milk all day if I let him! He is obsessed! His pediatrician told me to do half milk half water as well.
