Refusing milk.

[Toonlass]

Lucas has shown signs of not liking milk for about 2 months bit up until 2 weeks ago he refused all solids. Now he is eating anything and everything I give him he refuses to drink milk or even eat food with milk in it (porridge etc) unless its cows milk. What am I gonna do? He needs milk and he's too young to drink cows milk. His weird feeding habits drive me nuts like!! Xx

He's on SMA. Just moved to the hungry milk about a month ago because he was drinking so little. I'll try the aptimil milk and then if not it looks like vitamin drops in cows milk. I even tried a tiny bit of neskwick in his milk and he still wouldnt drink it. Surely a baby can't simply not like milk??? I hate milk but I'm a grown up, it's so wired xx

Sma tastes like metal and the cow and gate sma is prob the most metal tasting tho (yes I wanted to know what they tasted like so tried them all haha) - just to add my daughter used to have a reflux and wanted to know if they tasted bad coz I didn't know if it was that making her sick but it wasn't in the end the aptimil is very nice (I could even drink a whole glass - not going to mind lol!) very creamy like creamy milk and White choc buttons mixed lol!

Whey not likely!! He refused it, spat it out and cried and he did the same with cows milk. Dunno what to try next, milk is such an important source of goodness. I'm at a loss xx

I had this discussion at my local SureStart the other day at baby group with a health visitor, she said lots of babies/toddlers do it and that as long as they are getting it in other ways (yoghurt, cheese etc.) they will be fine x

He eats about 2-3 little asda yoghurt things everyday. I got him to eat weetabix today made with aptimel milk but I had to put fruit purée in it to get him to entertain it. I reckon I'm gonna have to be sneaky to get him to have milk. Once he is 1 I will just make sure he eats pleanty good food but I am a firm believer that for the first year, milk is very important. The little tinker Is just awkward lol xx

Hey hon, Harrison refused milk from 12 months and only started taking it again with cereal at about 18 months. I think it is pretty common so he might go back to it like H did x x x
