transitioning to milk

DD is 11 months & Ped wants us to begin milk. Before I call her to ask, I thought I'd ask the BTDT moms.

How much milk do you give your 1-year old each day?

Do you use the sippy or the bottle?

DD is on all table food & I have no idea how much to give her each day. I'm clueless on portion size. She eats lots of fruit & veggies each day and some protein (chicken, turkey or beans). Any advice?

Re: transitioning to milk

What I did with my older son is replace the bottles with milk slowly ( part formula/part milk). At a year he was on 3 bottles of milk, the same 8 oz of formula he was taking. The ped wanted him on a cup at 14mos and that is when I transitioned him to a cup. As the food intake increased we basically cut back on the milk. Some kids refuse milk from a cup and usually give up milk at this point completely.

Re: transitioning to milk

I am just starting the transition. Ped said just to get her on the milk and then at her 13 month visit he will discuss how much. Sorry I am not much of a help.
