My son just recently turned one and he does not like milk I still breastfeed but I got to get him to drink milk and it doesn't help he's been sick recently so he's just really wanting to nurse and not really eat or drink anything. Is there another safe substitute for milk that I couod give him .He also still gets formula here and there only when I go to work . He usually a good eater except for now because he's still getting over a stomach bug that he had.

He doesnt have to have milk after 1 years old. You can continue to nurse him or you can give alternatives if you feel the need. Soy, coconut, almond, hemp, oat, pea etc milk.

You can also give him water too, but like previous comment said there are other alternatives to milk.

@littleonemorning he's not a big water Drinker either it sucks he doesn't really like drinking anything other than being nursed

No they dont need an alternative. We are just told to do so. As long as the child is getting a good range of healthy fats and foods they dont need it. But for cereal or other things you can choose an alternative milk or pump and give breastmilk if you want

@geniedeloatch0, just keep trying new things. There nothing wrong with him nursing him, sooner or later he’ll find something 😊
