Milk!

[Layla]

Coby has gone right off his bottles, he normaly would have a 6oz bottle for bed and a 6oz bottle over night, but he flat refuses them now!
The only thing he will drink is juice.

We give him yoguerts rice pudding and cheese things, what else can i try him on to replace the milk he wont drink?

hi my dd is just the same, she refused milk ages ago. i spoke to health visitor ans she said to add her milk to as much of her food as i could. ie-veg purees, cereal ect. and to give her cheeses and yoghurts. the hv said as long as i did this she would be fine

 

[Kina]

Does he still have some spoonfed meals? If so I'd add it to porridge in the mornings. What about custard?

 

[Tam]

Yogurts will replace the milk OK babe.....just make sure he has a few tubs a day! x

 

[Layla]

he wont let me feed him much with a spoon anymore, its a battle ocz he trys to grab it, but i will try more with that, custard is a good idea!

what about making a smoothie milkshake or is he to young sop milk with fruit >>????

 

[Kina]

Smoothie is a good idea - I cut the top off of one of Ella's cups and put it in there, that way it controlled a bit of the mess!!

Noah no longer has milk in bottles. Instead I give him an ovaltine before bed, so he still gets a nice soothing ot drink, ut it contains lots of vits and minerals, in particular iron. Its very common for babies to be iron deficient. They lose their natural store after 6 months of age, which is why make second stage milk for 6+ months, with added iron. Perhaps try Ovaltine. Or if not just try to make sure he still gets plenty of iron in his diet.

You can buy sugar free crusha liquid now, that could be worth a shot babe!

 

[beanie]

does the sugar free contain sweetner as thats not recommended for babies. I would go with the smoothie, seren loves banana, kiwi and strawberry smoothies.
