Since I feed him dinner (the husband does breakfast), I force him to drink at least 4-6 ounces before he's able to leave his booster seat at the table. I usually shake the cup in front of his face and say "not empty" and put it back in front of him. Most of the time he grabs the cup, buts it in his bowl tries to hand me both and says "all done". No way, little man! But I think he knows by now that if he doesn't finish his milk, he doesn't get to leave. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-toddler-beg-for-milk#post-104194 Wed, 28 Mar 2012 14:59:25 +0000 Mrs. Sunglasses 104194@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrbee: I so have no clue what rice water is. i suck at this "health" or "substitute" food stuff. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-toddler-beg-for-milk#post-104188 Wed, 28 Mar 2012 14:56:27 +0000 mrbee 104188@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@blushink: He just drinks the normal one... although I think we're gonna switch him soon to rice water. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-toddler-beg-for-milk#post-104148 Wed, 28 Mar 2012 14:25:46 +0000 Mrs. Sunglasses 104148@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrbee: Oh I love silk (chocolat) so I'll buy the natural? one.

I would definitely want one if it was me! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-toddler-beg-for-milk#post-104108 Wed, 28 Mar 2012 13:52:03 +0000 aunt pol 104108@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>That's odd- last night when I read this, Mrs Jacks first comment came up as the main content of the thread, so thats what I was actually replying to!<br /> My friends six yr old only wants milk or water to drink, and it's just fantastic- he's not even bothered with juices and only gets fizzy drinks rarely when they're out somewhere. And he has the most beautiful teeth! I hope to follow the same route with mine- I've been guzzling so much milk the last 31 weeks I hope they still like it when they're out in the world and getting it first hand! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-toddler-beg-for-milk#post-104029 Wed, 28 Mar 2012 13:05:40 +0000 mrs. wagon 104029@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've always pushed milk since he started solids because I loved milk as a kid and I really think it helped me grow. Wagon Jr. goes through phases where he doesn't want milk, but usually he'll drink a few cups a day throughout his meals. Now at restaurants and other peoples houses as soon as he sits down he demands milk, which warms my heart!! </p> <p>And finally, @Mr. Bee you know my pain with the non solid poops. Haha! Seriously a few times we did give him a bath after he woke up with a huge mushy poop.... usually I just "bathe" him in baby wipes though. like ten of them. seriously. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-toddler-beg-for-milk#post-103675 Wed, 28 Mar 2012 09:12:46 +0000 Mrs. Sunglasses 103675@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No, Mavrick has been drinking less milk. He has a bottle before bed and I give him a small glass in the morning but he never drinks it all. </p> <p>I should try soy though. I only like the chocolate so the sugars in there are pretty high, and I'm afraid if I buy regular soy milk it will go to waste if mavrick doesn't like it.</p> <p>What brand do you take? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-toddler-beg-for-milk#post-103669 Wed, 28 Mar 2012 09:07:36 +0000 chopsuey 103669@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LO still hasn't taken to milk.. Hopefully she will one day! Whole milk is so yummy </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-toddler-beg-for-milk#post-103607 Wed, 28 Mar 2012 08:21:58 +0000 volksgirl64 103607@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DD absolutely LOVES milk and will ask for it all the time. Babysitters have fallen prey to giving her 2-3 glasses of milk at one meal because she will ask if she thinks she can get it. We try to limit her to 2 glasses per day (one morning and one night).</p> <p>Thankfully, she will drink almost anything else we give her, including water so we can tell her that she can't have milk yet, and she'll drink the water. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-toddler-beg-for-milk#post-103600 Wed, 28 Mar 2012 08:05:32 +0000 Mrs. Jacks 103600@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Rubies: Lala is 22 months. She had milk protein intolerance as a baby, so I wouldn't be too surprised if she was mildly lactose intolerant. I just try to get calcium in her in other ways best I can. We don't force the issue. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-toddler-beg-for-milk#post-103588 Wed, 28 Mar 2012 07:39:14 +0000 Rock n Roll 103588@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My daughter LOVES milk and asks for it all the time, but we only let her have it in the morning and at bedtime. She also loves yogurt and cheese. She's a dairy fiend. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-toddler-beg-for-milk#post-103564 Wed, 28 Mar 2012 06:04:01 +0000 Rubies 103564@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Jacks: How old is your daughter again? When I was 4-5, my mother made me drink a glass of milk every night before bed and it would take me hours to finish it...I HATED milk. And as it turned out, I was lactose-intolerant! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-toddler-beg-for-milk#post-103558 Wed, 28 Mar 2012 05:46:46 +0000 Andrea 103558@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrbee: Does daycare give him a bath after he poops? I hope he doesn't get a diaper rash? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-toddler-beg-for-milk#post-103555 Wed, 28 Mar 2012 05:40:12 +0000 mrbee 103555@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Andrea: It's not a pretty sight haha.

Does soy milk give you non-solid poops? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-toddler-beg-for-milk#post-103549 Wed, 28 Mar 2012 04:22:39 +0000 mrbee 103549@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@aunt pol: Olive loves milk too! :-) Breastmilk only though... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-toddler-beg-for-milk#post-103548 Wed, 28 Mar 2012 04:07:32 +0000 aunt pol 103548@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Wait, I thought Charlie was your toddler, and Olive still a baby? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-toddler-beg-for-milk#post-103547 Wed, 28 Mar 2012 04:06:38 +0000 aunt pol 103547@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If she's getting the calcium in, there's not much point forcing the issue, I think. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-toddler-beg-for-milk#post-103525 Wed, 28 Mar 2012 00:15:59 +0000 Mrs. Jacks 103525@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I can't get her to even take one sip of milk. We can get her to eat a little yogurt and cheese, but she thinks milk is completely disgusting. I wish she'd drink a little. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-toddler-beg-for-milk#post-103522 Wed, 28 Mar 2012 00:06:15 +0000 mrbee 103522@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Charlie has recently decided that he loooves (soy) milk and as a result, has dramatically upped his intake of milk. We have no idea why! Maybe he's going through a growth spurt? After all, he is truly ravenous these days.</p> <p>We went out for dinner tonight, and he devoured his entire meal. EXTREMELY unusual for him!</p> <p>The best part of his increased milk intake is his non-solid poopies. Every time we have to change his diaper, we end up giving him a mini-bath. Yay?</p> <p>Does your toddler beg for milk? </p>
