Hi doctor my 13months son refuses to eat foods he only love liquids milk or juice what can i give him for appetite ?

Cut the milk volume: This is not uncommon but happens when kids get all their fat/protein needs met from milk. However, cow milk in large quantities can cause small amounts of bleeding in their gut & cause profound anemia. To get an appetite for food you need to limit his milk intake to 24-30 oz/d plus water. This will allow appetite to return. Feed him at the table while others enjoy food & he will catch on.
