Hi all, just a question regarding my little boy who will be turning one in a month!
He has been fully breastfed since birth - would never take a bottle, and I have JUST got him drinking small amounts of cows milk/toddler milk out of his sippy cup.
He is down to one decent morning and night (sometimes the night feed isn't so much as he is full from a big dinner) breastfeed, and maybe a feed before his arvo nap.
He has sips of water/milk throughout the day but doesn't drink a whole cup at a time or a half a cup or anything like that - just small sips.
My question is - how much milk does he really need? He's getting a bit from his breastfeeds so i'm happy with that. Should I just continue to offer small amounts after meals?
This weaning business is confusing!!
When I fully wean him - how does it work then? Just follow up all meals with a sippy cup of milk?
I will talk to plunket etc when I see them next, just looking for what other Mums do!
Sorry if this is a silly question, first time Mum and just wanting my boy to be getting enough of everything!!
Thanks in advance!!
& I must add the has has milk on his cereal, and 3 decent meals and snacks a day - along with yoghurt/custard etc.

I used to worry about his water intake as he was only drinking a few mls, if that, from a sippy cup. One day I switched to a straw sippy cup and as soon as he figured it out he was drinking 40 - 80ml in one go! So if you haven't tried it already, perhaps you could see if he'll drink more milk from a straw cup?
