Help!! My son had his 15 month check up last friday. I knew from the get go that the doctor was going to tell me hes underweight. He is, i already knew that. But he actually lost a pound since may. The doctor asked me if he drinks whole milk. I said no, he wont drink milk of any kind besides breastmilk. Ive tried every single kind of milk out there. Whole milk, almond milk, hemp milk, vanilla almond milk etc. The dr said he needs the milk for the calories so he suggested something that i just dont think i have the heart for. He said if he's thirsty enough hell drink it. Meaning dont give him ANYTHING else to drink at ALL. Hell get thirsty enough to not be so picky. I can just imagine it now, my baby boy crying his little butt off because hes thirsty and doesnt want what im giving him. It breaks my heart just thinking about it. Has anyone else had this problem?? Any other solutions anyone had found besides that?? Any advie is so appreciated and welcome. Thank you. :)

@mommabear2babybearliam I think Walmart may carry it online. From what I know they love breastmilk because it's so sweet. Maybe you could take regular cows milk and sweeten it with honey or something like that and slowly put less and less in over time until he's just drinking milk. Or if you wanted to pump it and let him drink it from a supply cup.
@ilovemychildren he wont drink the pedisure at all. Thank you im going to read it now.
@mommysbabies he doesnt like yogurt a lot. Here and there. Cheese he likes but gets these episodes of pickyness and i tried pediasure. He wont drink it
@pattycakemom where could i buy it? He was breastfed since birth and weaning now. Do you think he might not like it because of being so used to breast milk. Right now he only nurses if he wakes up during the night.
@mama2kyns last may he weighed almost 21 lbs and his last visit he was 19 lbs
Nido makes a chocolate baby formula and they have formula they make for babies 1 year and older. Maybe that would help?
How much did he weigh? My daughter is underweight too.
PS we are plant based so you don't need whole milk to gain weight ✌🏻
I make smoothies with Ripple milk (vegan) banana, avocado, pineapple and VegaOne protein powder... my husband and I were both skinny kids so my doctor isn't worried. Said it's genetic... is he meeting his marks and walking etc? Is he happy? You can always get a second opinion! How often is he eating and nursing? What does he weigh?
Have you tried cheese and yogurt or pedisure there are other ways to get whole milk in
@mommabear2babybearliam my daughter who is 15 months weight 19 lbs at her 15 month check up as well. She's always been tiny and her doctors just got used to it
