Need Advice, My 1 Year Old Refuses to Drink Milk

I have a 1 year old that was drinking milk from her bottle no problem for about 3 weeks and then about 1 week ago completely refused her bottle all together and now won't even drink milk out of the sippy cup. I have tried adding chocolate to it, i have tried every different sippy cut that i have, i have tried a straw, i even tried a plain cup...she takes one sip and then bats it away, i am just concerned because the doctor said she should have at least 16oz of milk a day at this age.

13 Month Old Won't Drink Milk from Cup

HI, My 13 month old daughter will not drink milk from a sippy cup.

Goats Milk for My 9 Month Old...

Hi moms! After our 9 month check-up at the pediatrician, I asked about weaning my EBF son. Much to my surprise, I was advised that since my boy has been growing so beautifully and is well exceeding his weight and height milestones, that switching to whole milk at this point would be just fine for our little bruiser. He has mastered solids and gets something new every week without a blink of hesitation or (knock on wood) allergic reactions. That being said, our trial with formula did not go as smoothly which is why I am exploring other...

TOO Much Milk for a 1 Year Old?

Hello, I was wondering if it's possible for a 1 year old to have TOO much milk? We just recently had Lilia's 12 month appt., and her pediatrician not only said to have her off the bottle by her 15 month appointment, but to also not allow her to drink any more than 16 oz. of cow's milk a day. I had also heard this prior from a couple other mothers, since they can get other sources of calcium from other foods, so I didn't think to question her at the time. I wasn't too concerned about the 'amount' of milk b/c at the time of her...

How Much Milk Does a 16 Month Old Need?

I have 16 month old triplet boys. They are still drinking out of a bottle. I have been have difficulty getting them to learn to hold their own bottle, let alone get used to useing a sippy cup. I attributed this to their prematurity, born 2 months early, but I think they should have caught up by now. Anyway, my husband and I feed them 3 meals a day, with an 8 ounce bottle of whole milk after each meal. Plus another bottle before bed, and if they wake up at night we offer more milk. I think that during the day we don't need to give them so...
