Is it bad if my 2.5 yr old gets like 90% of his daily calories from milk?

Question

He’s a VERY picky eater, and I obviously can’t force him to eat. I offer things all throughout the day, but he’s just not interested in much more than his sippies of milk

Answer

I asked the same question. My pediatrician said to give water so the calories are coming from food. My picky eater got hungry enough that he started eating. It took a few days and crying for milk but hes doing better now! Good luck

Answer

He should only be having or MAYBE three servings of milk a day. The rest should be water and healthy foods. I'd be looking to a doctor about it

Answer

He won’t starve himself. Give him less milk and offer wide varieties of foods. He’ll start finding more and more things he likes and he’ll be hungry to eat the food instead of knowing he can fill up on milk. You got this!
