I am not normal to think that a child that is grown enough to eat actual food and doesnt need formula at all should drink more water than cow milk in a day?? Specially in the heat we are having..
My mom keeps telling me i dont know whats best for my son because i dont prioritise cow milk in his everydays life.. she gives him so much that he ends up having tummy pain, little throw up sone digestive issues.. but she keeps telling me that its my fault for giving him so little..

@pumpernickel i give my boy 20oz.. (2 times 10oz) my mom gives him almost 2L... like "ohh you dont want to eat your food, here some milk to replace it" but she doesnt get that this aint formula.. it cant replace a meal.. i just keep fighting with her several time a day because of it.. amd i hate fighting with my mom.
I might not come back for a long while

@lpheartsyou yeah.. but when she has him she abuses it and he enjoys it a lot. But eats less and she doesnt think its a problem because in her mind milk can replace a meal.. so now i have to stop leaving her my kid for few days until she starts listening and stop letting him eat less..

You should increase other things like more solids like fruits and vegetables and whatever is suitable for kids! After 6 months of age it’s not necessary to keep the milk amount as much as he/she used to have. Too much milk gives constipation and tummy aches. In India dr s say twice or three times a day rest keep em busy with other solid nutrients. My niece is a dietitian and she said the same.

My LO barely drinks it but always has water. The older generation doesn't understand this train of thought .. my MIL is the exact same. It's annoying.

Ya that’s redic! There are also cheeses, yogurt, etc with dairy in it. My 18 month old gets 4oz in the morning with breakfast and water rest of the day/evening including before bed. Milk before bed was making her phlegmy. Trust your mom gut.

Milk is an old way of thinking. Children don't really need that much milk after a year. Cows milk is not something that they need at all. They could have nut milk and that would be good enough. Calcium is found is foods in higher concentrations than milk. Don't listen to her. Give him water and give him milk when YOU would give him milk.

My doctor told me after a year it should stay between 10-20 oz of milk a day and definately not more than that
