How much milk does your LO have these days?
I remember hearing somewhere that they're supposed to drink a pint a day up to the age of 5. We're absolutely nowhere near that! Samuel will drink maybe 6 oz in the morning and he was drinking up to 5oz at bedtime, but he's barely touched his bedtime milk in the last week.
With cereal, he's probably managing 8oz tops a day. I might try offering him some milk with lunch as well.
I'm not really worried as we're so lucky with his eating. He eats a great mix of protein, carbs, fruit and veg and eats yoghurt and cheese which are good substitute for the milk. I'd rather him be a good eater and poor milk drinker at this age than the other way around.
Also, is anyone else still using bottles???? I've been promising to ditch my TT bottles for ages but they're so convenient and I still haven't done it. Plus we do a mix of cow's milk and Aptamil 1+ so its easier to measure it out in a bottle.

I've been offering Samuel a bit more milk in a cup in the day and evening which is working at the moment, Maybe he's telling me it's time to ditch the bottle for good and realise he's not my baby any more!
