My little girl has been having 2 bottles of milk a day, one in the morning & one before bed but for the past 4 days has been refusing both bottles, and is showing no interest in milk. Is this normal or should I be concerned? Google says they should be having milk until they’re two but she just won’t take it!

How old is she? My little boy is 18 months now but when he was 8 months old till about a year he was so hard to feed milk too! he just really wasn’t interested. I think they say that is they’re having at least 21ozs of milk a day under the age of 1 that’s ok. She could be teething? x

My baby is 19 months and he couldn’t care less about milk. He drinks half a glass of kefir in the morning and maybe half a glass of warm milk occasionally in the evening. There are other sources of calcium, iron and magnesium… cottage cheese or full fat plain yogurt. Our paediatrician said it’s totally normal.

They don’t need milk, it’s just an easy way for them to consume calcium. If they like yoghurt and cheese then it’s not a problem

If they're getting calcium from their diet then it's fine, my son dropped his last bottle at 14 months.

My son goes through phases, some weeks he won't have any milk, others he'll have loads!

My son gave up milk at 13 months he refuse it. He does have breast milk still tho. He's was combined feed from 7days old.
