Toddler only wants milk

[hallie098]

Is this normal and will it do any harm? Son is almost 3 and all of a sudden won’t eat any meals during the day, and just wants whole milk. He drinks so much of the stuff! At nursery, they say he eats fine…? He does have a snack or two at home but even then not much, and nothing like he used to have…

I'd cut back on the milk and let him be hungry enough for food. If he's eating ok at nursery then it's unlikely to be anything more than him knowing you're an easy touch.

Hes getting filled up with the milk, so probably doesnt have much appetite. I would drasticly cut down or stop the milk, or only offer before bed.

My daughter is 2 and is the same when she's poorly - could he be brewing something ?

Thanks for the advice, I’ll try cutting back and see if that helps at meal times. To be honest I’ve been doing it just to ensure he has something in him. Doesn’t seem to be getting poorly, no… just loves the milk!

At 3 you decide what he has? He needs a balanced diet so don’t give him milk and encourage proper meals.
