Soy Milk

How much soy milk should my 12 month old be drinking?
I started weaning from the breast a couple weeks ago. My daughter is drinking only soy milk now. She eats baby solid food between 2 and 3 times a day. And eats a lot of my food too.
My doc told me to try giving soy milk since she just wouldn't drink whole milk. She hated it. I'm adverse to milk anyway so this worked out for the best. I only want to know how much of it she should be drinking? She's been drinking it for about a month now, but I've switched her to an 8oz bottle.
Good for you for switching! I'm not a big fan of milk either & my son drinks soy & rice milk also. He's 20 months now but I believe around a year he was drinking 16-24 ounces. Other foods would count towards her daily calcium requirements though so if you only had 8 ounces of soy milk & 1 or 2 other servings of calcium rich foods then it would be enough. She should have 600mg of calcium which is equivalent to 16 ounces of milk.
