How much milk?

Question

just wanted to know how much milk should a 2 year old be drinking daily? and also...my son only wants chocolate milk...is it bad to only give him that kind?

Answer 1

16-20 ounces is a sensible amount for a toddler.

As long as he isn't getting a ton of other sweets, chocolate milk is ok. (You might try cutting it 50% with white milk so reduce the sugar load.)

Answer 2

It could be a phase; it happened to me with my older daughter. you can get the less sugar choloate milk and more dairy to his diet with yogurt, cheeses, etc.   Approx. 2 cups of milk a day is good.  that way he does not get full only with milk and eats other things.

Answer 3

I alway heard that chocolate milk causes acne. So if you two year old has a lot of zits, I would switch to strawberry milk.  God forbid he should drink something without sugar.
