milk

how much milk do you go through in a week? i have just begun to switch them over to milk. i started by giving half milk half formula then will go to all milk in a bottle and see how they do. between the 2 of them how much do you go through if i give them 3 bottles of it a day

 

Six 8-ounce bottles = 48 ounces each day. There are 128 ounces in each gallon. You'll go through a little under a half-gallon each day. Also keep in mind that they'll be drinking less milk and eating more food now, so a more accurate estimate might be anywhere from 36-48 ounces/day. Just buy on a week-by-week basis and you'll soon figure out how much you need.

We buy organic milk. It's a tad more expensive, but it usually has longer expiration dates. We can stock up and not worry about it going bad. Plus it tastes a lot better than regular milk IMO!

 

We buy bags of milk rather than cartons. We go through about a bag a day. I buy organic whole milk.

 

Mine drink from sippies so they don't always drink a full sippy (on an average day they drink 16-20oz). With mine getting one sippy of milk at daycare a piece, we still go through about a gallon and half in a week. I would guess easily 2 gallons a week if they were home full time.

 

is there a good brand of organic milk to get? can u find it in a regular grocery store. i'm have heard organic milk is better for them no growth hormones or anything so i wanna go that route.
