Bela swetha replied. Hi bela,

My son is also in this 10th month& stoped drinking milk.even i tried different formula milk,even tried the sipper ,glass etc but ...

32 OZ of milk in a day is necessary for the below 1 year babies.so what u can do is ,before giving solid food ,give him the milk(let him be hungry).In my case this idea also failed.It may work for u.

I think that as long as ur son is eating soild food its ok.but don't stop the milk.keep on trying.otherwise he will no longer take milk in this childhood.

all the best

same as my daughter.she is 19 mths now.but dint took bottle nor sippy nor cup.i gv my BM till 18 mths.its ok bela if ur milk consistency is getting low.after 6 ths babies get their other nutritions from other food.just give ur milk for their immune system to build well.even my baby took my BM till 18 mths.consistency was too less but she used to suck.

Try giving formulas in small quantity by spoon.no need to add bornvita or horlicks till he cross 1 yr.be patient bela ur baby is perfect no need to worry .it is not necessary all babies takes bottle n sippy cup.i used to envy my friend's son who used to drink good quantity of milk in bottle but now his habit is not to eat food n drink only milk from bottle.he is 2 n half now.my friend is try to stop his habit but to worried.

by seeing that i wonder our babies are better.what do u think? its ok bela take it easy

take care
