Hi there, My problem,getting my son to eat.He eats things here and there but most of the day all he does is drink Milk and watered down juice.I've tried to bring out his favorite foods but he's not too interested.He does eat at every meal but not much.Any suggestions?

I had this exact same problem with my 16 year old when he was 2 and 3,he wanted nothing but milk.....I would put on his plate what I thought was what a 2 year old would eat and tell him there is NO MILK until he ate what was on his plate.....the first 2-3 days,he fought me on this but you have to stick to your words and eventually he WILL eat it....it takes a lot of patience and time but they do come around and realize that if they really want their milk,they have to eat their food.....you also have to remember that a lot of milk intake isn't good for them,it's hard on the teeth.....calcium is needed for your body but to much isn't always good either.
