milk at night

Hello Trinayani, same here also. My son has a habit of drinking milk at the middle of the night also. He will simply sit up and will start crying. Yesterday we visited our child's pediatrician who advised me to stop bottle feeding as soon as possible. I KNOW VERY WELL THAT BOTTLE FEEDING IS NOT GOOD. But what to do Trinayani? Doctor is telling to give him water and is also in sippy cup only. But my son simply finds me out and lie down on my lap. And if l don't give him milk, first he will cry and then he will start roaming in the house. SO WHAT I AM PLANNING TO DO.. I WILL GIVE HIM A FILLING DINNER AND AFTER 30 MINUTES I WILL GIVE HIM MILK IN SIPPY CUP. But for this l have to complete everything little bit early. ..as l can't send him to the bad just after the dinner.

debha how often ur child will drink milk????

twice at night.... at around 12:30 and 3:30

debha after filling dinner ur child may nt drink milk i think u do one thing give milk in sipper when he s hungry repeat it or 1st make him learn to drink in morning section with juices or else then do tepeat in night as well

And doctor is telling it is his addiction, not his hunger at all. .

Thank you Trinayani. .. and what about your son?

ya its right dnt give milk more than once as it may cause tooth decay n mal alignment

previously my son use to take milk atleast 2times in night bt now he was teething so am giving filling dinner like u n bed time giving milk 180ml even he wake am making him sleep with some water

Ok. ...then l will also give water as per doctor's advice. It is really nice to talk to you Trinayani. Take care

thank u

another thing tring is dilution of milk more with water 5scoops for 180milk gradually giving him only water

yours is good, my girl she doesn't drink milk at all... tried complain, and other things too to make it tastier but she now doesn't even take it to her mouth...

Dear Heena, serve the milk in nice sippy cup. You can add a spoon of liquid chocolate or honey for the taste ...just to draw her attention to the glass of milk. Prepare custard or kheer or milkshake. You also take a glass of milk with her and ask her for a healthy competition.

I tried shakes complain and even faluda bit no use

no one in our family likes to drink milk...
