ive got a 7-months old baby. Its been 2 days now that he doesnt like to drink his milk, instead, he will crave for water. and im so worried now on why does he doesnt like his milk. Weve been using that brand of milk for almost 3 months. But he eats on soft foods. Anybody who can give me an explanation on what to do with my baby?

What kind of milk are you giving him? Is it cow's milk or formula? Hopefully it's formula - that's easy then, change brands, pick another brand & see how he goes. Also try using a sippy cup, my daughter prefers her cup over her bottle - it might encourage him to take it! I'm sure it is a little worrying but you need to try other brands before you worry too much & see if it's because he's not liking the current brand. If it's just cows milk, then you need to have him on formula! Good luck & i'll check back to see what information you put in here :)

At 7 months he still needs the calcium and such from milk and shouldn't just be eating soft foods. I would absolutely call your pediatrician and ask if you need to make an appointment.

I don't know why that is happening but I can tell you that none of my kids stayed on milk past about 8 months. I spoke with the doctor and he said as long as they are eating soft food and getting enough they will be alright.
