My daughter would drink Homogenized milk. I never gave her 2% until she was almost 2? Probably drank the same amount she would have if she was having a bottle... 6-8 oz, every 3-4 hours? Was a while ago and dont remember the amount, but I do know it was Homogenized.

It is reccommended that you give your child Whole milk with Vitamin A&D (this helps their bodies use the calcium) for the first two years of life. The fat aids in brain development. My daughter is 20 months, and she has been drinking soy milk since 12 months because she demonstrated an intolerance (she is not "allergic" and could probably go back to cow's milk later.) but I supplement the lost fat from the soy milk with her diet. I usually pour her a cup, and let her run around the house with it. I think I would estimate she drinks 5-6 cups (7 or 8 oz) a day. I would say, let your kid drink what they want. Just make sure it doesn't interfere with how much they eat.
