meal schedules and milk amounts

Do you give milk with each meal?

My 14 month olds eat 3 meals with milk (slowly introducing milk in sippy cups rather than bottles)
they also drink larger bottles when they wake up and before bed.

700 bottle
1030 or 11 - ceral/fruit
230 lunch with milk
530 dinner with milk
800 bedtime bottle

Any advice on this? There was a feeding schedule on the first year forum but I don't see it here.

 

I give milk with meals now... but we dropped bottles two days ago, but it helped that we switched to one nap also.

They get breakfast at 9am, lunch at 12.30pm, then nap, then a snack at 3pm and dinner at 6pm.

 

Im no help in the bottle department but my 13 month olds get a sippy of milk for breakfast and dinner. Juice for lunch and water the rest of the day.

wake up - breakfast
morning nap then snack (upon waking)
1 hour later lunch
afternoon nap then snack (upon waking)
dinner
bath
bedtime snack

So 3 meals, 3 snacks.

 

Yup, I give milk with breakfast, lunch, & dinner (4oz's all) & then a 8oz bottle before bed.

 

I don't give milk with meals as I am always worried it will fill them up and I want them to eat the food!

7 am wake up - bottle of milk then breakfast
930 nap
water all morning - maybe small piece of fruit
11/11.15 lunch with water
2.30 bottle of milk - before or after nap - sometimes varies
3.30 small snack
5.45 dinner with water
7 pm bottle and bed

Water is on offer all day in sippies.

 

I try milk with meals, but mine prefer water. I only give milk or water throughout the day. They still get warm milk in sippies before nap and bed. I'm trying to transition, but they really love it. To be honest, I'm not hung-up on how much milk they get. I don't think it's key to their nutrition at this point (19 mos) and if they decide not to be milk drinkers so be it. We get calcium from all sorts of other places and much healthier forms of fat so I don't care so much. I do need to break the "warm" habit though.

 

This is our schedule:

6:00 wake
6:30 - sippy of milk (they hardly ever drink more than a sip or two) before daycare
7:30 breakfast at daycare with milk
10:00 snack with water or milk
11:30 lunch with milk
2:30 snack with milk or water
5:00 supper with milk
6:30 sippy of warm milk (sometimes drink an ounce or two, sometimes 6 ounces)
7:00 bed

They are always offered milk at meals and sometimes they drink a lot and sometimes hardly any. My girls are about the one percentile in growth, so I pretty much let them drink as much milk as they want.
