Raw milk and my toddler

We were so pleased to discover that DS can handle RAW milk (he had previously shown a dairy issue).

It's really helping with weaning. He loves his bottle with milk in it....

However, some days that's all he wants to drink. He'll sip on water occasionally, but he drinks WAY more milk. Is it hydrating enough or should I put a cap on it and make him drink more water?

His urine output seems okay...and it's never a deep yellow or anything.

Cow's milk is 87% water and minerals according to Ricki Carroll's Home Cheese Making Book. I really would not be that concerned about it.

So...pretty close to the water content of breastmilk. Cool.
