Diary

Sorry your post cracked me up, am guessing you are meaning dairy! lol

Least you had the right letters

Lily's a year younger than T but she has maybe 260ml of warm cows milk before bed (can be right before bed or an hour before - doesn't get her off to sleep)and(either every day - every 2nd day). She also has yoghurt (120g pottle) every day - every 2nd day, cheese maybe the equivalent to a slice of package cheese every day - every 2nd day. I don't know how much that is in total though sorry but probably 'not enough' either.

Chelsea has a 200ml cup of milk before bed (well, two cups last night when we were trying to get her to actually go to sleep ), and milk in her breakfast, a yoghurt a day. Cheese with dinner sometimes or just a slice of cheese. So not sure how much that actually is but doesn't sound like 600ml either... She would have more milk if I let her but we already go thru 5-7litres a week with DH and I drinking our milky drinks too hehe.

Gabrielle is about the same age as your DD and apart from milk and a spoonful of yoghurt on her breakfast cereal she has pretty much no dairy at all. She doesn't drink milk anymore, though she probably would if I gave her some, and I occasionally give her cheese or a yoghurt, but to be honest it hasn't really occured to me to give her more than that. I asked the plunket nurse in December at Gabrielle's 2 year old checkup how much dairy she should be having and I got some airy fairy answer about how she was growing well and didn't need bottles any more which confused me coz she hasnt been on bottles since 15 months.
I have stopped worrying coz I am sure she gets some dairy at daycare and I know for a fact she still has milk at her Dad's place too. Also, she was tested as low in iron last year and calcium can inhibit iron absorbtion so I have been more focusing on getting enough iron into her. Plus you can get calcium from veges too and she eats a wide range of veg.

Crikey there is no way we'd get that in here. DD isn't really keen on dairy, expect cheese. Maybe has 200 ml a day.

With DS1 I was advised that he needed 3 servings of dairy a day which sounds like you are achieving. As Milliemoo says there are a lot of other foods that contain calcium if that is the main concern.

With DS2 they have said 500mls but I just do what I can. The only other thing I give him that you haven't mentioned is cream cheese and occasionally ice cream and custard. At the end of the day you can only do your best and if they don't want it they won't eat it.
