My 16m is still bottle obsessed. He hates eating food but he loves milk. Quite often he will throw all his food on the floor and point to the cupboard where we keep his bottles and shout "bot bot"
We obviously try to limit his milk but currently he has 7oz milk after lunch and 7oz milk before bed.
Since teething (all his canines coming through together) he is waking twice a night screaming for bot bot. His food intake has reduced even further as well so we are concerned he is actually waking hungry and have started giving in to him. This is obviously leading to less eating and way too much milk.
It's becoming a real problem and I am really concerned that he does not equate food to satisfying his hunger.
When he does eat he will only ever eat small amounts and he is incredibly picky - fruit, yoghurt, crisps, crackers and anything sweet like biscuits. He won't eat anything carby like pasta, rice or bread. He used to eat porridge every morning but now he won't accept anything on a spoon and he won't try to eat it himself if it's put in front of him.
We need him to eat more and drink less milk but feels impossible when he is screaming for 4h at night.
Please any advice at all? Feeling really stressed with it all and worried there is something wrong that we are missing.
