Well Child Check Milk - Commercially prepared formula may now be
replaced by whole cow's milk (or two percent). One percent and
skim milk are not recommended because children need extra fat at
this age for their development. The volume taken will vary and
may be supplemented with dairy products such as yogurt or
cheese. If your child's milk intake decreases, do not be
alarmed. Your child needs just 500 mg a day of calcium which is
easy to achieve. Please see our calcium handout to make sure
your child is receiving enough calcium. Milk intake should not
exceed twenty to twenty-four ounces a day as you transition to
whole milk. Encourage use of a sipper cup and promote total
weaning from the bottle between twelve and fifteen months.
Babies may continue to breastfeed for as long as is desired by
mother and baby. Solids - Expect a decrease in appetite as your
child's rate of growth slows. Maintain three meals a day on a
regular schedule. Pureed or junio
