Circumstances (if any special): Tta until at least Nov. I see my RE end of Oct and plan to take meds during 1st tri in my next pregnancy.
R/R/CS: I hate how unpredictable my body is at this time. I should've O'd last week but I feel like this is my fw.
GTKY- DS said hola early on maybe 4 mo? And will occassionaly still repeat it. But like a parrot no meaning. He now does say mama & papa at us only, no clear first. Only other word he uses often is agua (water). He loves his bath time.
This and also it's important for toddlers to get a wide variety of nutrients. Drinking too much milk may cause toddlers to be too full for other food. Our ped said no more than 2-3 cups of milk a day for these reasons.
Thanks for the clarification. I can get behind the possibility of iron deficiency anemia due to the Vitamin D content, but causing him to be too full for other food? Meh. Maybe toddlers as a general population I can see. DS eats better than I do. His milk intake certainly isn't keeping him from eating well at each meal. He's about the only kid I know that will eat veggies (and ask for them). He gets fruit with breakfast, veggies and fruit with his lunch, and veggies with his dinner. Consistently. He drinks either water or milk through the day, as a general rule we don't give him juice, although once a week at DC they have it with their snack and we do allow that. He's 75th percentile for his height/weight. The pedi asks at each visit what type and how much he's drinking and has never cautioned is or expressed concern. He's not showing any signs of an iron deficiency anemia either, soI guess I'm not too worried about it.
Yeah I wasn't singling your son out, but it does apply to many toddlers that they drink too much milk, juice, smoothies, etc and then don't really eat as much food as they should because they are full. This used to be an issue with my son. Even after he started solids, he nursed a ton so didn't really eat much food. And then the same thing happened when we introduced cow milk - he drank way too much and then wasn't hungry for his meals. So we limit his milk intake, and he's totally healthy and fine.
rungirlrun, I totally get that. No offense taken...was just kind of thinking out loud. My nephew is one that doesn't have a very diverse intake, but it's not related to his liquid intake. I think my sister has always kind of spoiled him and wonders now why he won't eat chicken and wants hot dogs all the time.
