Do i give Kylah to much milk? She has a feed the moment she wakes up, 200ml. She cries untill she gets it, which i think stops her from eating breakfast, she hasnt ever eaten breakfast.

Iv once managed to give her yoghurt for morning tea, and she ate the whole thing, but that was a once off. I give her morning tea but she screws it up, mushes it or just biffs it.

Them she has another about 11am, lunch at 12pm, she has maybe 3 or 4 teaspoons thats it.

Then bottle at 3pm, i also give her a sandwhich, and cracker first. She eats the cracker, screws the sandwhich up and thats the end of that, wants her bottle.

Dinner at 5pm, she eats maybe 5 teaspoons, then bottle and bed at 6pm.

She sleeps all night and wakes at seven, but shouldnt she be eating more than that?

Am i giving her too much milk? Or not giving it at the right times or is she fine to eat that little?

She should be having between 500-600ml of dairy a day (including yoghurt, cheese etc)

If shes having about this then thats ok but if its way more maybe try and cut down. A lot of toddlers are fussy eaters so just keep offering her healthy food.

sarah was like kylah, in the end i got hard and just started cutting out bottles as if she was hungry she would eat more, the first few days were horrible shed get so upset, but after about 3 days shed realise she wasnt going to get the bottle so she started eating more.

with jett ive cut out his morning bottle, he has porridge and toast for breakfast then about a hour later ill try him with a bottle, if he doesnt seem hungry ill just put the toast on the tray of the highchair and eventually hell eat it.

Spencer dropped his morning one himself but i had to take the afternoon one off him and did that when he started messing about with eating his dinner. Perhaps you could offer her water instead in the morning and afternoon.
Spencer still has his bottle first in the morning I just leave it about 45 mins before trying to give him brekkie, but if that doesn't work perhaps just give her 100ml and then brekkie and then the rest of the bottle afterwards.

I use to give Daniel half of his bottle, then breakfast then he would have the other half.

I'd maybe try holding out giving that 11am bottle until after lunch and then she shouldn't need another at 3pm.

Tom has porridge and toast for breakie and then a bottle just before his morning sleep (2hours after he wakes up).  Then he has lunch around midday and a bottle just before his afternoon sleep (1.30ish).  THen his last bottle before bed at 6.45ish.  I can leave out a bottle if we are out and about...I think they aremainly a sleeping tool for him.

At 12 months they only need 2 milk feeds (like Rach said 500-600mls TOTAL dairy per day), so it sounds like shes having alot more than that, which would probably mean she needs less food. I would probably drop one of the day bottles first (ie: bottle, breakfast, morning tea, lunch, nap, bottle, afternoon tea, dinner - or if shes having 2 naps have the naps after m/a tea) and once shes dropped that one start working on dropping the morning one -- ie: do breakie first, then offer the bottle at least an hour after food, til eventually its so close to morning tea time that she doesn't need it. She will eat eventually if she is hungry enough!

Ok, so heres day 1 of less milk. I made her breakfast before she got out of bed, put her in the highchair and she ate 5 teaspoons of breakfast! Thats up from having none! Then she had a bottle and drank the whole thing so theres 200ml. Morning tea and then bed. Going well so far..
