my baby is 16 months old how much milk should be given,?

Question

Accepted Answer

At 16 months old, your baby is transitioning from breast milk or formula to more solid foods, so the amount of milk they need may vary depending on their diet. Generally, at this age:

Breast milk or formula: Your baby should have about 400-500 mL (13-17 oz) of breast milk or formula per day, if they are still breastfeeding or drinking formula. Some babies may drink less as they consume more solid foods. Cow's milk: If you are offering cow's milk, it's recommended to give about 350-500 mL (12-17 oz) of whole milk per day. Cow's milk should not replace breast milk or formula completely at this stage.

It's important to remember that every baby is different, so it's also about watching their cues. If they seem satisfied and are growing well, you're likely meeting their needs. Make sure they are also eating a balanced diet of solid foods, including fruits, vegetables, grains, and proteins.

If you're concerned about your baby’s milk intake, it’s always best to discuss it with your pediatrician.
