evening bottle is being refused

[TheLadyVanishes]

dd is 13mths, still has her bottle of milk in the morning, she has plenty of yoghurts cheese etc through the day but will not touch her bottle when she goes to bed (tried putting in a cup for her and that doesn't work) anyone else had this and should i be worried

Yes, my ds2 started doing this at about the same age. He's recently stopped taking his morning milk too (he's now 20 months). He won't take any from a cup either so he is drinking no milk at all apart from a little on his breakfast cereal. He does eat other dairy products though. I am a bit worried but I figure you can't make them drink it. I keep offering a little in a cup at breakfast but he never touches it. At night he just has water now. I dislike milk and did as a child so I think it might be a genetic thing (to do with the way milk tastes to us IYSWIM).

dh says you can't make her drink it too, suppose you can't help but worry when reading guidelines/books which say they should have so many ml/ozs a day. Perhaps i should be more laid back

My dd is 17 months and I offer her a sippy cup of milk in the morning and before bed. She takes varying amounts depending on how hungry she is. I am sure that if we offer them plenty of opportunities to have milk/dairy then they will take what they need.

DS2 was like this. After I stopped breastfeeding him (about 13m) he showed no interest at all in milk at bedtime.
He never got into the habit he's nearly 3 now - takes a beaker of water to bed with him and drinks most of it through the night.
It seemed weird to us as his big brother guzzles half a pint of warm milk eveny night without fail!
I would try not to be worried - especially if she's eating well through the day.
