Maybe ask the pediatrician if she needs to rclapee the breast milk ounce for ounce with cow's milk. I suspect she doesn't. If she's eating solid foods, she'll be getting nutrition from them, whereas before, almost all of her nutrition cam from your milk. Now, though, her body is going to start needing nutrition your milk doesn't contain. But this nutrition need not come in liquid form she'll make up for it with solid foods.I think I read somewhere that toddlers only need a few cups of milk a day, along with other fluids, of course. But I've also read that it's sometimes difficult to get babies to adjust to new liquids (juice, milk, water) and new drinking vessels.Remember too that she can get her dairy in other forms: cheese, yogurt, cottage cheese.
