What to do?

Question

My son turned 1 on Halloween and switched from formula to 2%. His doctor approved 2%. The only problem is I know they should be having a certain amount of milk a day and my son doesn’t want to drink it. Ever? I’m lucky if he gets 13-15 oz in 24 hours. I offer it constantly and he just does not like the taste. Any advice?

Answer

My doctor says to give my daughter whole milk, which has a completely different taste, and she loves it. Could it be that he just doesn't like that particular type of milk? I mean I don't like 2% but I love whole milk.

Answer

My baby stopped breastfeeding cold turkey and wont drink any milk. So I make sure he eats yogurt and cheese also I put avocado butter on his toast, pancakes, waffles to get some
Healthy fats as well.

Answer

So some may not like this but on my son’s birthday we took him to Dutch Bros (coffee shop) to get his free birthday hot chocolate which is just warm chocolate milk. He downed it. He would never drink regular milk but after that I put a tiny bit and I mean like a table spoon or two into a 10 oz bottle of whole milk and he drank it up. The next day I just did whole milk and he’s drank it ever since with no problem.

Answer

I found warming the milk up a bit helps a lot with my little girl.

Answer

Have you tries offering whole yogurt to him?

Answer

My doctor suggested 16-24 ounces so you’re pretty close

Answer

Aslong as he’s getting a good amount of calories from food with healthy fats like avocado, peanuts then he’s fine.
He does not need to drink a certain amount of milk a day, just offer it to him and if he wants it he will drink it

Answer

I bought the "transition milk" its tastier and has same good qualities as regular milk and honestly its probably only about $5 more expensive for a three week supply (i get it wholesale)
