i read your reply to Madhu saying
\" now coming to your query i know many kids who were striclty on milk diet till 3 years but after they they have eaten all kinds of foods\"

My daughter has started eating she is 22 months now but the problem is she eats very little when she eats on her own. her weight , health touch wood is fine but her main diet is still milk. at night b4 going to sleep she will have milk in bottle, mid nite she gets up once for milk, then early morning say between 4.30 to 5.30 am she gets up i will gv her milk she goes back to sleep, same thing in the afternoon b4 sleeping she hv to have milk or else she doesnt sleep.

otheriwse she has started eating normal food like us what we cook for us

My question comes now:

Last week we had a wedding in our family i had gone to stay at my realatives place for a week, many guests had come to attend wedding. trust me who ever had come for wedding objected to my daughters habit of drinking milk, some people also said giving too much of milk is harmful at this age, you wont beleive what i am saying last nite i got irritated and i ddnt gv milk to my daughter poor girl was so restless
i know what i did was wrong but all htose comments are really disturbing me
people were like arre you know her daughter doesnt eat anything she only survives on milk my daughter was topic of conversation plus was advising me, giving tips on how to starve her then offer her food
but as i said she eats on her own but very little , but i make sure that breakfast, lunch n dinner either me or my mil feeds her n in between whatever she eats we leave it to her we dont force her
is there anything worng in what we are doing? is it true that too much of milk is harmful? is it that i am not able to take care of my daughter well?
right now she has increased her milk intake whenever b4 sleeping i gv her 8 oz, mid night she has 4 oz, early morning she has 4 oz and in the afternoon b4 going to sleep she has 8 oz..

now you tell me is this quantity harmful?
my duaghter now drinks water also on her own

i really donbt knwo please help
