ds loves his milk..he's 2 and a half and drinks about a pint and a half a day but would happily drink more if i let him. he just asks for it all the time!beginning to think i'll need a cow out in the garden. he"s not overweight at all but getting a bit worried incase this is odd and may harm him in some way.

on reading this back it seems like a really stupid post but it has been worrying me. apologies

No help but my just turned 2yo is exactly the same. She would drink pints of it given half a chance so am lurking with interest. I don't think I'm concerned...

it's fine i think, ds1 was like this though hsi milk consumption has gone down a bit over the last year or so

my 2 yr old drinks about a pint and would drink more, I think its only really a problem if it affects their appetite at meal times, otherwise I wouldn't worry x

I have the same issue, not sure if it's a non-issue really. My DS1, 2yrs, also asks for milk all the time and it does affect his appetite. He does eat fruit and veg though so I'm not overly worried about his diet. However, I am concerned because he wants the milk in his bottle (water and juice he is fine with a cup).

Does your DS drink his milk from a cup or bottle Clarabumps?
