Does he need cows milk?

[Sterla]

DS is 14 months and still breastfeeds about 3 times a day, and usually once or twice overnight.
He eats really well, and I try to give him some yogurt and cheese every day. What I'm wondering is if I need to give him cows milk to ensure he's getting enough calcium, or does he get enough from breastmilk?

TIA

I cant get DS1 21 months to drink cows milk!!! He still BF during day when he wants it. He will have it on weet bix and has yougurt and cheese. I was told that he needs cows milk for calcium but I cant get him to have it, have tryed warm and cold in different cups and a bottle to no avail.

DS has cows milk on his cereal, and he has drank it on the few times I have offered it to him. I've just given him to it cold in a sippy cup, and he loves it! Just wondering if I need to be offering it to him though, and if so, how much?

Feeb: I guess your DS1 knows what he wants .

I don't think you do, no, particularly if he's having other dairy products. On the whole, I think we tend to have too much dairy if anything.
