    Hi friends,

    My DD is 15 month old. She is reluctant to drink milk or water.
    I BF her during nights alone.
    Whenever I give her water she spits it immediately and milk sometimes she takes 1 or 2 oz and thats it for the entire day.

    I am very worried since she is not taking liquid in any form.
    Please suggest me some ideas to feed her.

    Thanks

    Was she taking milk earlier without a problem? How are you giving her liquids: bottle, sippy cup, cup/spoon?

    What is her food routine? Try giving her milk in the morning before breakfast.

    Try distracting her while feeding.

    Hi Ramya,

    she was exclusively BF for the first 6 months and she never liked formula. She is doesnt like feeding bottle or sippy cup. I usually give her in a tumbler.

    Her sleeping pattern is yet to settle. She sleeps late at night like 12 or 1 and has 2 naps in the day (one in the AN and 1 in late evening) If i try, not to make her sleep in late evening she sleeps at 10 but wakes at 12 and plays again.

    so eating pattern is when she wakes at around 11, Breakfast will be either dosa/cerelac/sathumavu kanji
    after she sleeps and wakes up, dal + rice + veg
    then in the evening fruits (mostly banana ) and i try to give her some milk
    then she naps and then curd rice/dosa/cerelac and before bed i try to give her some milk.

    Thanks
    Sangeetha
