How much milk is your toddler drinking?
What percent milk are they drinking?

Stella drinks about 24 ounces of whole milk a day, mostly in bottles. I am just starting this week to force her to drink it out of sippy cups during the day. She loves drinking water out of cups, but will refuse to drink milk unless it is in a bottle. I know I am sooo behind. Oh well

Maggie is getting about 8-12 ozs every day in addition to other dairy products within her diet. Sippy cup at night before bed.
We're using 2% because that's what the family drinks. Getting her plenty of healthy fats through her food as well.

She's still on formula since every time I tried to introduce her to cow's milk, she doesn't seem to tolerate it. But I am stopping her bottles so she hasn't had any milk in the past 24 hours since she is refusing to drink it from sippys 
When I try her on cow's milk again, I'll give her 2%.

Owen's on whole milk and gets roughly 16-20 oz a day. I haven't measured to know for sure...I should, because now I'm curious.

16-20oz of almond milk/day. Almond milk is low in fat so we just have to be extra sure for him to get his fats from other sources.

Juliana is nursing mostly but gets some almond milk every now and then, when I need a break or am in a meeting. She takes it just fine. She prefers a bottle but will drink some out of a sippy, too. I don't worry about giving her a bottle because she only gets one a couple of times per week. She is dairy sensitive so I don't know when we'll try to switch to cow's milk but it will probably be more than a year.

Caleb gets a sippy cup of milk in the morning and one at night... I know I know...I really need to stop the night time milk sippy.  LOL
He gets 1% because that's what Grace and I drink. I got tired of buying 2 types of milk and since he's already 25lbs the doctor said it was OK.

Noah gets about 8-16 ozs a day of whole milk but I'm going to ask the dr about switching him down to 1% because that is what the rest of us drink and it is so much more expensive than 1% too.

she gets maybe about 12oz a day..whole milk. I'm also wondering about switching to 1 or even 2%. We drink 1% but I wouldn't mind just buying 2% for everyone.
only in sippy cups. She's been totally off bottles since she turned 1.

Leah drinks 16-20 oz of whole milk from a bottle. She will NOT drink it from a sippy cup or a regular cup. We've tried everything. She wasn't really a big bottle baby, but now she's kind of addicted to her bottle.

I am also considering just giving her 2% or maybe even 1% milk, because right now I'm buying whole milk just for London, because Caden and the rest of us drinks 1%. It would be most cost effective. Also my hubby won't be tempted to give Caden the whole milk. He drinks ALOT of milk and doesn't need all that fat from the whole milk. London gets plenty of fats and stuff from other things, so I don' think it would be a bad thing to switch. Right now London has about 8-12 oz of milk a day in a sippy or regular cup.

I moved the household from 1% to 2%. I noticed no difference whatsoever for us (not like switching to skim milk).

Maddy drinks about 16 to 24 oz of milk. Sometimes even more. She loves her milk. I'm trying to cut her back though. Trying to get her to drink more juice or water. It's whole milk but I'm thinking about switching to 2% soon. No bottles. Sippy only.

Emilys gets a sippy of whole milk with breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Total about 15oz. Any other time she only gets water. I don't drink milk at all and dh drinks skim only. It will be awhile before she gets anything else.

My pediatrician actually said to give her 2% milk instead of whole milk...and she's pretty slender for a toddler.
We drink skim milk but I'm thinking I won't switch her to that until she is way older like in middle school.

Kellen is still on whole milk because he doesn't get a lot of fat throughout the day. He's probably getting around 16-20 oz a day. I should switch him down to 1% with the rest of the fam but I just feel like he needs it. He drinks every few hours from his sippy.
