One year old refusing milk?

6 replies

He had his jags the other day and has been refusing milk since, will happily take water/juice through the day but wont touch his morning or bed time milk. I tried offering milk every hour to see if he would take anything at all but no.
I even tried putting it in his straw cup but had one sip and refused more.
Should I keep offering and hope its just because of his jags? Should I just take this as him not wanting milk anymore? Does anyone have any suggestions I could try and get him to take some.... I even considered using a syringe but I think that would be a step too far lol

Thank you!!

I wouldn't be too worried - it could just be from the injections or they can go off milk so just keep offering as you would do normally. If he only has morning & night milk I'd just offer those rather than during the day too. Is he still having things like milk on cere, yogurt and cheese? He can still get his calcium from there.

My mum tells me I stopped drinking milk at about 1 and I still don't have milk on my cereal even in my 30s!

Would it help if you were drinking it and then he had some? My DS is 17mo and my food is not my own anymore!

Our son woke up one day about that age and decided he didn't want any more bf. Just solid food. His mum was a bit surprised considering how much he'd had in the previous year!

@Burgerandchipvann yeah, he has it with his cereal, he loves yoghurts and cheese thankfully, I dont have cereal, to be honest I dont actually drink milk eitherBlush

@orangejuicer I could try that, he mostly wants anything I have anyway so thank you!

@ForestDad he could be deciding that he doesnt want it anymore which us fine, he went off his baby formula a lot when he was smaller and I kept persevering but now hes bigger hes quicker and throwing and has a tantrum, which I try and avoid Halo
