12 month old feeding

My 12 month old has started refusing milk- started suddenly on Saturday. No matter if it's in a bottle, straw cup, sippy cup he won't touch it. He's drinking water and eating solids but he's easily distracted and gets bored so not sure if he's eating enough and he's so stubborn that once he's decided he's done, that's it.

He's currently poorly so not sure if it's related to that but it means he's waking up regularly through the night hungry but won't feed.

Has anyone got any suggestions or even some reassurance please?

I wouldn’t worry too much. It’s probably just a phase and won’t do him any harm to go a week or so without milk. Once he’s feeling better he will probably start drinking it again. Maybe a brand new cup when he’s feeling better will get him interested. Just keep offering plenty of different foods. Usually if I really want my 2 littlest to eat but they’re too distracted/poorly I’ll just leave little bits on the plate at a time and they tend to graze on that
