Still 8-12 ozs. We're dealing with bouts of constipation lately, and it makes me nervous to try giving her any more. Every time I try to give her more milk, she gets constipated.

Hunter has 8 oz daily. He does eat a ton of dairy in other ways though. Hate to admit it....he's getting his daily dose of milk in a bottle before bed. Thats part of the routine that will be tough to break. eeeek! He too tends to reject the milk if it's in a sippy.
Maggie's milk is in a sippy, but it's still right before bed too, and is a firm part of the night time routine. Maggie sort of surprised me when I moved her from a bottle to the sippy full time. I just put all the bottles away after she went to bed one night, and it was sippies from there on out. With no site of the bottle and no choice and no idea where I stashed them, she just sort of went along with it.

Ummm Leah still has her milk in a bottle. Sometimes 3 times a day. She will NOT take it out of a sippy. We've been trying for months. She's such a skinny minny, and I'm kinda scared to take her milk away. She's still drinking like 15-18oz per day. I'll see what my pedi says at her 18mo appt bc it sounds like she's drinking too much, but she also eats a ton of food.
This makes me feel better. Hope is still getting 2 bottles a day (morning and night). I know I should stop but she refuses to drink milk out of a sippy cup and here comes the selfish reason - this is my last baby and I don't want to give up that cuddle time. She has her 18 month appointment coming up and I'm expecting to hear that I need to stop.
20 oz per day, in a sippy. She doesn't really like it, but we have to push it because she has such a hard time gaining weight. We also put carnation instant breakfast in it to get her to gain more weight (as per doctor's instructions).

After I took away Arie's bottles, she rejected milk for about 2 weeks before she started drinking it in a sippy, now its no problem.
She will just pour it out of her sippy... I'm wondering if this is a phase...
