Is there a limit as to how much milk my dd should be taking?

She is 13 mo and has gone onto cows milk. She is loving it and has already had about 600ml today so far. Is she having too much? (i used to struggle getting this much into her when she was on formula!) I dont want her to get a tummy ache or anything.

What do you think?

Thanks HAK. Yep she is still having her main meals too!! I wonder whether its novelty for her as its a new taste!? I must admit, when i have a taste it takes me back to my childhood days and having some milk at primary school!! :-) well, it [i'>is[/i'> good for them as part of a balanced diet and at least she's hydrated! I b-fed, so I have no idea how much milk DD (or DS) was drinking, so it could even be the same kind of volumes! I love milk too and would drink a nice cold glass of milk over a glass of water any time. Can't stand room-temperature milk though... [i'>that[/i'> take me back to primary school!

she'll let you know if she's got a tummy ache! The only thing would be if she's replacing her meals with milk (so drinking loads and then declaring she's not hungry for her balanced meal). DD certainly drinks LOADS of milk, and would drink more if I let her help herself... at the height of her milk-drinking we'd get through a 2l bottle every day (including milk for tea/coffee)
