My 18 months boy not drinking milk - help me!!!

[birdmansim]

Hi all:

Recently, my baby boy of 18 months had some flu 3 weeks ago and since after recovered 1 week later, he start rejecting all types of formula milk.

We not sure of what happens, althought in the past his intake of milk is not that good, of avergae 150ml per feed for 3 feeds per day, but now he is not drinking any!!!

The approach of the milk and the smell immediately make him use his hand to either make a "no no" or he closed his mouth very tight.

We had tried a few brands of the forumal milk, Mami gold, gain and even Pediasure, but still can not get him to drink.

We visited the baby doc or specialist last week
and she recommended feeding more tou fu or cheese products or soy bean with less sugar.

We currently feeding more tou fu, soy bean and bread with cheese. But our boy don't seen to take much.

our boy does take the 2 feed of lunch and dinner well.

But we afraid of our boy upgrowth without the other benefits of the formula milk.

Can anyone advise what can we do? For a 18 months not wanting to drink milk? Any other foods or milk to recommend

Without the intake of froumal milk, will it still affect the boy growth, especially IQ and learning?

Thanks for all the kind souls and people out there for reading the post.

Any feedback or repsonse is appreaciated.

Thanks

Father and Mother of baby sim

Have you tried favored milk?

Chocolate one might do the trick.

I agree with Thiam Hui. My #1 was a fussy milk drinker as well and Meiji chocolate milk did the trick when he was 2yo. Now he's back to FM with no problems.

Don't worry if he is taking solid food well. Milk at this stage is a supplement.
