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
Yesterday I went out with my boyfriend went to watch a movie, me and him don't live together yet. but point is yesterday when he was dropping me off his like sleep over at my house witch the mom and dad lives. I said no,
his response was why is everyone deciding or making choices for you and their going to do the same with the baby, when I know that's not true. what he thinks is that my mom tells me not to sleep over. So he left all mad. and I felt in my heart that he went on and cheated on me...
Short Luteal Phase?
I've just started temping because I believe that the reason I haven't had a BFP yet, after 20 months, is because I believe I may have a Luteal Phase Defect.
Transgender children
So I just learned that in my kids school district (my kids aren't in school yet my oldest will be starting kindergarten next September) there are twin boys who identify as girls. They are 5 years old. What's your opinions on this matter given they are 5!!! I don't believe that at that age they really understand the whole thing. So the entire school had to take a course on how to handle transgender children. For example they can't say girls go this or boys do that. What are...
need suggestions....
So at work we have a drink thief. Any time we put a drink in the fridge it disappears. I swear I know who it is. So far he's taken drinks from everyone that works in the office, we even put a sign to not take anything you didn't pay for and wrote our names on the drinks. The person I think is taking them works out of the office so we never get to see who is drinking them.
Trigger. Lost baby
Went in for my 20 week check up and found out our son had passed away. Nothing was wrong, my pregnancy has been going great. I'm so numb right now. I'll he delivering him later this week. I don't want to do this. I don't want to do this. Not before Christmas. How am I'm going to tell my kids?? My dear sweet baby boy. Why did this happen?
@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
