My 3 year old is addicted to milk, when she got sick I completely cut it out of her diet. Now that she hasn't had it for 2 weeks I'm seeing an improvement in her behavior, attitude, sleep, and she's eating better. I'm reluctant to introduce it again. I'm going to get her doctors opinion too, but I thought I'd ask here too.

My LO was sick when yours was, I believe and we also cut milk. We went back to hemp milk. You don't have to give milk, you can just make sure she gets a serving of yogurt or cheese each meal.

My DD drinks mostly water but also likes almond milk. We also give her yogurt made with almond or coconut milk.

My 3.5 year old doesn't drink milk. He is allowed cheese and yogurt but doesn't eat much of those. He does water or orange juice.

Following. My 15 mo refuses milk. We are still nursing, but I would like to go down to 2-3 sessions (now at 4-6). She eats some cheese but not yogurt.

LO had MSPI, so we never transitioned to milk. I give her water, and occasionally almond milk or juice. I keep water in her straw cup, which is what she goes to daycare with.

Thanks all!! She likes yogurt, sometimes she'll eat cheese, I'll give almond milk a shot too. I appreciate the suggestions, I'm not going back to milk, it just suppresses both of their appetites (3 and 16 months).

@StbHisMrs: LO has never liked milk, but she will eat yogurt and cheese. I figure she's drinking enough water for wet diapers, and she's getting her calcium and nutrients from other foods.
