    wow guys I wish mine was an eating machine!!!!! Doesn't even drink much milk. How I wish for a child that will eat the food rather than play with it!!!

    Hi Jodi

    Rylee has 2 x 250 mls bottles of milk a day - one for her afternoon nap and the other before bed at night. She will also have a tub of yoghurt every few days, has cheese every day, milk on her porridge......I think if I gave her anymore milk she would cut down on what she was eating - which isn't that much anyway.

    HTH.

    Jodi - Just something to keep in mind, my nephew had a problem absorbing iron due to having too much milk and he ended up really quite sick from it I believe. I think toddlers are only supposed to have roughly 600mls of milk a day??

    Thanks for that shar. Something to keep in mind. I had to take her to the dr to see about her spots/rash, and asked him while I was there. He said as long as it's not interfering with her food/water intake not to worry. Most days she has 500-600ml, just every now and then she'll have more.
