If he's not drinking the milk there is a reason for that. Either there is something in the milk he doesn't like or it doesn't sit well with him, or he's possibly too full? <br /><br />Amelie went through a big stage of not drinking a lot of milk. I'm not even sure she ever really got the "appropriate amount" (I never listened to all all that, each kid is different) - but now she drinks tonnes of it. <br /><br />Does he throw up after milk at all, or is it simply refusing the milk? If this is the only concern of not drinking a lot of milk, I wouldn't worry too much about it. If it continues to concern you and the doctor doesn't have an answer, go see a naturopath. Amelie has a great one and he gave her some amazing stuff to help with her digestion which was a huge cause for lack of eating and drinking heavy stuff.<br />They are more likely to have an answer (sage clinic, downtown (Dr. Jui practices both western and eastern medicine.

Juice? Water? He may...Is he drinking anything else? Juice? Water? He may be just a bit under the weather (since he has been sick a couple times) and the formula may be upsetting his tummy...hence why he's refusing it. <br /><br />Try watered down Poweraid. That is what my doctor told me to give Nate when he was under the weather. Keep trying the formula too. The most important thing is to get some kind of liquid down to avoid dehydration. <br /><br />Like Anna said, diapers will let you know if he's getting enough...and if you feel unsure, take him to the doctor. You can never be over cautious! <br /><br />Hope that helps!Julie Snowdenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09921547033236449747noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7756907544417966592.post-27521718710264860462010-06-29T09:42:19.181-07:002010-06-29T09:42:19.181-07:00Pooping yes, but yesterday he didn't have many...Pooping yes, but yesterday he didn't have many wet diapers at all. And my mommy instinct isn't helping because I don't know what to do! AGH! Maybe we'll see what happens today...

If so he's probably getting enough hydration from his "solid" foods and could just be full from eating. <br /><br />However, always trust mommy instinct. If you think something is off, something is off. Mommy instinct trumps all!Anna Brotzelnoreply@blogger.com
