![Is it okay if I give my picky toddler more milk (formula, toddler milk, milk?) 🤷🏽♀️
📢 Friendly PSA - let me start by saying that this is Instagram and not a personal nutrition assessment for your child. What your medical team says is always the ace card!
In general for the vast majority of kids who are healthy and growing well on their curve, once they reach 12 months of age, they no longer require formula and do not require toddler milk (sometimes called “grow-up” or “stage 3” milk ... which is a money grab and scam, generally speaking). 2 cups of cow’s milk daily is adequate or continued breastfeeding. If plant-based, continue with formula or breastmilk until 2 years of age.
If you continue to offer a lot of milk or continue with formula or start a toddler milk, it can displace their appetite for food.
And if appetite for food is low, you’re not going to have an adventurous eater at the table. ❌
I realize that as a parent, if your kiddo is picky and/or not eating and if they like their milk anyways, the easiest thing to do is to increase the volume of milk, offer it more often or offer more calorie-dense milk.
But sometimes the easiest thing to do isn’t the best way to solve a problem! ⚡️
👉🏽 For example, in this case - offering more milk or more filling milk can cause iron deficiency in children (because milk has no iron and milk is filling so kids aren’t as hungry for foods that have iron in them!)
✨ So I think the better question here is not whether you should give your toddler more milk but HOW you can uncover the ROOT CAUSE of the picky eating and apply a long term solution!
