Almost 14 m old toddler refuses to drink any liquids other than BM?
HELP !! I am going crazy. My toddler is almost 14 m old, high-maintance and with a huge temper since birth. I have been feeding him, but now I am on antihistamine and other medications, and for other reasons I need to ween him. I have been trying for days now and nothing is working. Since he turned 1 yr..I began introducing cow's milk, orange juice, other juices, water...I tried bottles, sippy cups, small cups...and he will slam whatever I try putting in front of him. He will absolutely have nothing but milk. I succeed only in giving him a few sips..but that's all. He only has two teeth so far and gags on chunky food so he is still feeding on pureed food. I mix that with cow's milk- and luckily he doesn't mind that. But after many attempts he still refuses anything in a cup- BM is an exception (tried that just to exclude if it was a cup issue/ or milk issue). I tried giving him other sources of calcium like yogart- he will eat one small cup of those a day sometimes.
