Question
Why do children refuse to drink milk?
Answer
Although they can be fed with a bottle, children may be going through a phase of disliking milk. This is usually a part of the growth process, and as long as the child is in good spirits and their weight is increasing normally, there is no need to worry too much. The phase of disliking milk typically lasts for one to two weeks. Possible reasons include curiosity about their surroundings, distraction during feeding, lack of concentration, or fatigue with a single type of food. If the child feels unwell, medical attention should be sought immediately.
