My 5 yr old (turned 5 in May) recently dropped to one cup of milk a day, she has it only at bedtime now.  Before that, she had it at naptime and bedtime.  Yes, she just stopped napping, actually I stopped her nap since she starts Kindergarten in the fall.  She is a big eater tho and very hungry all the time so we continued the milk till she didn't want it anymore.  Maybe that wasn't the right thing, who knows.

my 5.5 yo has 2 cups still and my 2 yo has 3. Calcium is super important and I will be keeping his at this level. I take a cup a day as well and probably should do 2!

They also do cheese and yogurt in their meals i'd say every other day but I am not counting that....
9 and 6, oh boy!

We are pretty heavy milk drinkers over here as well so DS at 2yrs 8 mo drinks 2-3 sippy cups a day, sometimes 4.

Moved L's milk from between dinner and BT to dinner time today.  She was so excited to get milk with her dinner! She drank it all and ate all her dinner too so that's good.  I usually give her some yoghurt at dinner but have moved it to lunch instead.

Based on all your advice I'll def be keeping the two cups as long as poss.  Thank you!

Oh, and L has whole milk too :)
