DS is 17m. He has an allergy to cows milk proteins and as such is on a special formula and soya replacements for yoghurts etc as well as excluding all milk from his diet. He will not take milk from his sippy cup, only water and won't take water from his bottle only milk.
Lately we have had soaking wet nappies on a morning - talking up to the armpits soaked on his vest, pjs and even sleeping bag. He has approx 18oz of milk in the day which ensures he gets his calcium intake for the day.
I have previously tried to get him onto water at night and he was having none of it - screaming, crying, unsettled and refusing point blank - and to have an easier life, we just would put a bottle in his cot and he'd drink this as and when he wanted it throughout the night.
I have noticed lately he is eating a lot more lately. So yesterday for example, a bowl of rice crispies and half a piece of bread toasted with jam on for breakfast at 8ish. A boiled egg, half a piece of toast, yoghurt for lunch at 12ish. He had a fruitpot and some skips for a snack at 3ish and then at 6 he had a portion of pasta with sauce on and a fruitpot then some of our spaghetti and then half a piece of bread with jam on. He had approx 6oz milk between 7pm and 10pm. I then put a 9oz bottle in his cot which was empty this morning. (Unsure of milk intake in the day bbut assume 18oz as per usual). He woke up with wet vest, pjs etc.
He had similar food intake the day before but had a whopping 21oz throughout the night and woke up drenched.
He seems hungry as soon as he gets up approx 6am so we will give him a breadstick/cheerios to munch on whilst we get ready to go out (He has breakfast at nursery/my parents).
Any suggestions on whether the food amount is too little/less and also about milk intake appreciated?
