Hi Parents,

I have a problem which not new but just would need all of your help to handle. My daughter is 2.8 years old and is very healthy and chuby child. She likes all milk products and specifically MILK. Daytime is fine if she drinks but at night she keep on asking for milk.

I am scared due to 3 reasons:
1. Her teeth might get effected by having milk at night.

2. Her weight has increased which doctors says that do not worry she will be fine but I am just scared of Obese child as I am also not a thin mother and do not want her to be in problem.

3. She passes urine the whole night which makes me change dipers throughout night.

For adding one more imp thing I always feed her properly before she goes to bed so that she should not ask for milk at night but all waste.

If any one have any suggestion pl do advice me ... need your pl.

I also have same story and my daughter is 1 year and 10 months. she also gets up 5 times in night even after heavy feeding in night. and then she wants milk. she drinks atleast 750 gms of milk in 1 night. i m worried about her. too much milk is also not good as children tend to become anemic.

but i can suggest you brush her teeth twice a day.

n regarding her weight issues as you are healthy so is your daughter. it depends very much on the genes. as some parents are slim there kids are also slim even after heavy eating and vice versa. so you dont worry abt her weight. she will lose weight once she grows up as children engage more in play when growm up which tends to lose their weight.
