How many sippies of milk do your kids get per day?

...and how many ounces? ...and when?

Thanks,

 

Mine get about 3 8 oz. cups a day

One when they wake
One late AM before lunch
One after dinner

 

Mine get 2 10 oz cups a day, they also get a 10 oz cup of juice and the rest of the day is water. They eat fruits and get milk in foods they eat.

 

at most 2 9oz bottles at bedtime

 

Well, I keep offering but they don't always drink it. I offer about a 6 oz sippy of milk (with vanilla quick which is the only way I can get them to drink ANY milk for now) when they first wake up. Lorien will drink almost all of it but Arwen drinks only about 1/2 of it. Then I offer another 6 oz for their am snack (around 10am, before their nap). Lorien will usually drink about 1/2 to 3/4 of this one and Arwen almost nothing. I offer their 3rd 6oz bottle at about 3:30-4:00 pm which is their snack time. Lorien will drink most of this one and Arwen again, hardly any (grrrrrr).

 

I'm not sure how many ounces are in a normal sized sippy cup. I am thinking 8. Michael drinks a lot more milk than Mikayla. He will have 3-4 sippy cups a day, breakfast, lunch, dinner, and bedtime.

Mikayla will drink maybe 2 a day. Sometimes at breakfast and sometimes at dinner.

One 10oz sippie of milk in the morning. Grayson hasn't been drinking all of his, so Ian takes over that cup too! The rest of the day they get water.
(They are almost 22mos.)

Three 7 oz sippies daily. One at all three meals. They drink water inbetween during the day too.

 

Mine get a sippy of milk with breakfast, lunch, and dinner, and right before bed.

The amount they drink each time varies and it has increased. I would say right now they drink at least 5 oz. at breakfast, 4 oz. at lunch, 4-5 oz. at dinner, and about 3-4 oz. right before bed.

This varies each day. Some mornings they will drink a whole 7 oz. sippy of milk with breakfast and some days it's only 3 oz. or so. I just use one sippy cup for milk all day and keep refilling it.

 

mine get it twice a day usually, once at breakfast and again after dinner.
But they eat a lot of yogurt and cheese daily as well.

 

Mine get it offered 3 times. One at breakfast, lunch and dinner. I offer them about 8 oz and they usually drink half of it at each meal. They are also on 2 bottles a day of formula as well. (one is 6 oz, the other 8oz)

 

Mine get 6 oz. three times a day with their meals, water in between breakfast and lunch, and 50% juice with 50% water in the afternoon. Water before bed.

 

they get offered 3 cups of 7 oz each for breakfast, lunch and dinner - they generally drink at least 6 oz at each meal. rest of the day is either water or a juice/water mixture...

 

My girls get 4-6 oz in a sippy cup with each meal - so about 12-18 oz total. They also drink a cup of about 3 oz juice mixed with 5 oz water with their afternoon snack. Sometimes they want more milk before bedtime, but usually they just finish whatever was left from their dinner and they're good with that.

 

Lily
breakfast - 7 ounces milk
lunch - 7 ounces milk
pm snack - 7 ounces juice
dinner 7 ounces milk

Grace
breakfast - 6 ounces milk
lunch - 4 ounces milk
pm snack - 3-4 ounces milk
dinner - 5-6 ounces milk

Any other time of the day they get water in a sippy.

 

Mine get milk with meals and a sippy of milk right before bed. For snacks and in between meals, water only.
I fill a 6 oz sippy for each meal and at night. It varies whether they drink it all... I would say combined they each drink about 17 or so ounces a day of milk.

 

When I'm home I still nurse, but when I'm at work, they get only 1 sippy (maybe 5 ounces) a day.. and they don't even drink it all. If they do, my nanny might give them some more (it all depends on if they ask), but they usually don't.. So I guess we give on demand. Once I'm at home I nurse, though I do give DS a sippy with milk before bed.. DD won't drink it when the 'real' milkies are in the house.

 

3 I think and I am pretty sure they are 9 oz cups but maybe its 6... I am not sure. I usually just give them enough until they are satisfied so I will refill them if they want it.

 

Two, at breakfast and one before bed while winding down.
At breakfast, they drink maybe 3-4 ounces, really not much.
In the evening, 4-5 ounces. I know, my kids don't drink a ton of milk, but they make up for it with cheese and yogurt.

 

the boys have milk with their cheerios in the morning and then 2 10 oz sippies of milk with about 1/2 of a danimals yogurt smoothie mixed in right after lunch and then about 5PM, or about 1 1.2 hours before dinner. They will only drink plain milk out of a real cup that I hold at lunch, so that's another 4 oz. They also have 1/3 apple juice 2/3 water sippies in the morning, afternoon and with dinner. Then water before bed.

 

The girls get 3 sippy cups of Milk and probably 2 sippy cups of juice.
