Recently, Trevor has started to reject milk... not totally but enough to make us worried.
It start two days ago, when he refused to take his night feed of 120ml. Yesterday, he refused to take his afternoon and night feeds (again) and only managed to consume 40ml instead of 480ml over three feeds. However, he has a great appetite for solid food so we really scratch our heads and feeling so frustrated trying to coax him to drink his milk.
I guess he could have transfer his liking for milk for Veggietales... Yes, Trevor has developed a liking (hope it's not addiction!) for Veggietales and would demand us to play the DVD for him to watch the moment we reach home. In fact, he would actually throw tantrum when we refuse to turn on the TV for him. It's quite entertaining watching him bounce and sway to the beat and watching the way he soaked in to his favourite story - Dave and the Giant Pickle. On the other hand, we don't want him to cultivate the habit of watching TV all the time which is bad for his eyes so at times we have to battle his resistance and decide when to switch off the TV.
Hope he'll regain his desire for milk soon... quite worried that he'll get constipation and calcium deficit.
