What Causes A Child To Refuse Milk?

Hi Doc, my baby boy will be turning 10 months in 2 weeks. For the past month he has been refusing his milk. On an average he is only taking less than 20oz in 24hrs. However, he loves his solid, which is 2 jars, 3 times a day. It seems baby at his age should have at least 24oz per day but there are many times where he only takes than than 10oz per day. Please advice on how I am able to increase his milk intake and why does he refuse the milk. He has been on Similac Advance since 4 months old. Thank you! Regards, Julie

Hello,

Then congrats because it is really a good sign if the baby is taking solid more than milk. Continue this routine, but milk is also necessary and stays calm.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
