how much quantity of milk is recommended for 14 months old baby?

Question

Accepted Answer

For a 14-month-old baby, the recommended daily intake of milk is about 16 to 24 ounces (480 to 720 milliliters). This includes all sources of milk, such as cow's milk, breast milk, or formula.

### Tips for Milk Intake:
1. **Balance with Solid Foods:** Ensure your child is also getting a balanced diet with a variety of solid foods, including fruits, vegetables, grains, and proteins.
2. **Cup Transition:** If you haven’t already, consider transitioning from a bottle to a cup to promote healthy drinking habits.
3. **Avoid Excessive Milk:** Too much milk can reduce the appetite for solid foods and may lead to iron deficiency anemia.

### Nutritional Considerations:
- **Whole Milk:** For children under 2 years, whole milk is typically recommended for its higher fat content, which is important for brain development.
- **Breastfeeding:** If you’re still breastfeeding, it can continue to be an important source of nutrition and comfort.

Consult your pediatrician for personalized advice based on your child’s growth and nutritional needs.
