Toddler Tantrums

Reha I would reduce the milk intake. One of my cousin’s daughter had routine checkups and everything but was on a similar diet like your son. To keep the story short, she was very anemic and had to be hospitalized, had two bags of blood (the most they could give her at her age of 2). I am not a doctor, but here is my understanding of it…the fat in cow milk doesn’t allow good iron absorption and cause’s the body to become anemic. Also, if they aren’t eating anything else there isn’t much iron going into the system to start with.

you kid is too full after the milk to eat anything else. Try taking away the milk and giving him a full meal.

I have no advise for the tantrums…they will go away eventually and something worse will start :{

I think you’re right…we have a ped appt tomorrow evening and I am going to discuss this with his doc.

So his routine during the week:

Morning bottle

Breakfast - usually eggs and potatoes

2 hours later - bottle + nap

He naps for 2 hours

On wakeup, he has lunch…usually pasta of some sort

2 hours later he has a bottle

Dinner is whatever we are eating for the day…usually no more than a few bites

Bedtime he takes a bottle to sleep.
