daughter is 18 months. She breastfeeds twice a day (sometimes three on the

weekend) and has two 8 oz bottles of soymilk a day. Could she be getting too

much milk????<

 

Wow. That does seem to be quite a lot of soymilk for a child her age.

You might want to check with her pediatrician, but it sounds like too

much to me. My 2-year-old dd drinks only about 1/2 cup per day; and

she's still breastfeeding. I might worry that your daughter isn't

getting enough actual food. Although soymilk is great for kids, they

need nutrition found in foods too.
