My 18 month old DS was ebf until 6 months and then mainly bf until 13 months apart from two bottles of formula 4 days a week when I was at work/cows milk from 12 months. When DS got to 13 months and I stopped bf, I gabe his milk in a bottle until 15 months when I decides to get rid. The problem is, since then he has been hardly drinking any milk. He will take a few sips from a cup and then throw it away/get up and leave it and just refuses to sit and drink it.
After a few months of this I am getting worried sick about the lack of milk he is having. The only milk I definately get into him is on his daily weetabix. I give him greek yoghurt and cheese but this can't be anywhere near the amount he is missing from milk.
I explained the problem to my hv, and she suggested trying different types of cups but I have already done this and he won't take it from even the most bottle like cup I can find. She then resorted to telling me that most 18 month olds still have a bottle at bedtime and strongly hinting that I go back to that.
I am now seriously considering trying it just to guarantee I can get one big milk drink into him a day. I always brush his teeth last thing so would it really be thst bad? The alternative is a lack of calcium which I am worried sick about - what is worse?
