Toddler Calorie and Meal Goals
Aim for a toddler's daily calorie intake around 1000 calories based on weight.
Ensure your toddler eats three family meals daily with modified versions of the family's foods.

Increase Food, Decrease Milk
At 12 months, toddlers should get most of their nutrition from food, not breast milk or formula.
Gradually taper milk intake starting around 10 to 12 months in preparation for cow's milk transition.

Limit Cow's Milk Intake
Limit cow's milk intake to 16 to 24 ounces daily for toddlers after 12 months.
Avoid excessive milk that fills toddlers with no iron and reduces food intake.
