@MsBAM: totally normal. Wouldn't you prefer the boob to a bottle ? My son never drank as much for the bottle as he did nursing. As long as your son is eating other foods at this point I would not worry about it.

My thirteen month old does the same thing. I decided it’s fine. The pediatrician thinks we should offer whole milk while I’m gone and breast milk when I’m here. She may or may not consume the whole milk. She’s a good eater anyway.

From 11 months until we weaned at 16 months, DD wouldn't drink breastmilk from anything but the source. She'd just have a little bit of water at daycare. I had to throw out so much frozen milk!

@MsBAM: this happened to us! My son was a total boob monster and we nursed am/pm only from 13-24 months. But even though we offered cow milk he wasn’t interested. He is now 3 and still doesn’t drink milk. He likes cheese and yogurt so it isn’t really a problem.

@MsBAM: also totally normally (and pretty frustrating). But babies aren't that different from us- sometimes they want crunchy, sometimes they want sweet. Honestly, they re so fickle and fussy. I always thought I'd have a good, non-picky eater but my guy "does what he wants" with food. My doctor said one good meal a day for toddlers is good. My son is 2.5 now so some advice for down the road (not like you asked ) I have had decent luck eliminated junky snacks. I just can't have them in the house. He's hungrier at meals. I also always present veggies first so he takes a few bites. And if he doesn't eat healthy stuff, well too bad, you ain't getting that bowl of cereal or cheddar bunnies.
