A member asked:
Should i be concerned if my son is 22 months old, refuses to eat and will only drink from a bottle?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: There is no real way to have a nutritionally complete diet that is healthy if you only drink. If he is healthy, and there are no health issues, experiment with restricting his access to the bottle. In fact, you should probably through all the bottle away. Get sippy cups, don't give him too much to drink. Provide food for him, probably finger foods will work best. He won't starve. You're the boss.
