My son is 3.5 and hardly drinks milk in general. Some kids dont like it & thats okay. Theres other ways for your kiddo to get vit D & calcium if you’re worried about that.
Why would you want your kid to quit drinking milk? Put some chocolate syrup in it.

My kids 26 and still drinks milk regularly. I’m not sure I understand why you want your kid to stop drinking it. Or maybe I don’t understand the question. If you’re worried about them not drinking milk, try other things like soy, or almond milk. Talk to your dr about pedicare. Chocolate milk maybe but be careful with the cavities with chocolate.

Humans are the only species that consume milk past infancy. It’s truly not needed, (providing you’re getting nutrients from other sources)
Personally I don’t like the taste of it neither do my kids.
Stop or start?
Mine started around 4-5 months. As far as I know they haven’t really stopped yet… they’re (almost) 20 & 27.

My girls still drink it and they’re almost six and almost seven, though they mostly drink water. I do keep Almond milk at home because I’m allergic to dairy, but they’ll drink regular milk other places. It just depends on family dynamics and your child’s medical history. Do what works best for you and her.
My kids drink it daily if your concerned talked to your pediatrician. You could also try soy, coconut or almond milk
I mean I’m 26 and still drink it my oldest stopped having a bottle about 3.5 (still has it in a cup during the day though) and my youngest is still breastfed so hasn’t really started bottles yet
I mean it’s really your preference as well as your kiddos. Technically dairy is a staple in their diet until they’re at least what 10??? Idk I know you can supplement with other choices such as almond and oat and what not but it has to be replaced somehow.
They recommend starting at 1 year . You can stop anytime and choose to do a non dairy alternative like almond milk .

If he’s starting to not like the milk by it’s self try to add some strawberry or chocolate to it
Mine had milk from 12 months to a year and a half. For the last 3 years we’ve switched to almond milk. My kids are 5, 6, 9, 11&12.
It’s not necessary. As long as she’s eating dairy or other things with calcium.

We do not actually need cow’s milk.
As long as they’re getting enough other dairy, other nutrients and even maybe taking a natural vitamin then it’s not necessary.
Too much milk can actually cause mucus build-up and Kidney stones.
There are all different kinds of milk like products. See which one they like the best.
All 4 of my children (other than my infant) ages almost 12 mo-12 years and I, and my siblings, and dad (my mom is lactose intolerant) drink cows milk daily. Is this even a thing? To STOP drinking cow milk? Why?

I have 4 kids ages 9,4,2 and 1 . My oldest loves milk and would drink a gallon a day if I let him , my 4 year old doesn’t like it and refuses to drink it and has since 2 , my 2 year old is lactose intolerant so she drinks lactose and my 1 yr old is allergic to dairy cheese milk and such so she drinks toddler formula and has since 11 months old
kids dont usually stop drinking cows milk once they start… they usually turn into teenagers and adults who drink a glass of milk with their meals every day

but maybe her stomach isnt handling it well, making her not want to drink it
Bottles stop around 1yr but cows milk can be given in cups at any age. There’s no age to stop drinking milk, unless it’s in a bottle and then the bottles go…

If you are feeding her 3 regular meals and 2-3 healthy snacks then she would have a need for milk as a main food supply. Continue giving cold milk and cereal or a snack can be cheese cubes and apple slices.
Depends on the child I have a 11 year old and she drinks it daily my 7 year old hates it and my 3 year old will dri k it sometimes
It’s like 400 degrees outside. If my almost 3yr old even kinda drinks milk with dinner that’s the only time she will. Otherwise dairy products like yogurt for breakfast or cheese for snack gives her the calcium.
We were supposed to stop drinking cows milk by a certain age?? Uh oh, I think my whole family might need a check up from our doctors to make sure we’re okay because we still drink it sometimes.

My baby has never had cows milk and he’s almost 2. They don’t need cows milk. My son went from formula to a toddler supplement milk.
I heard they’re meant to have a pint a day till they’re 4! But my eldest 2 dropped as soon as their bottles were changed from formula so made sure they had yoghurt and cheese for calcium, they’re now almost 4 and 8 and love milk more than ever

My youngest is 2 1/2 and she drinks at least 3 cups of whole milk a day (10oz cup id say she drinks 8oz of it usually) she loves milk. My 10yr old is the same way.
My 18 month old has barley drank 8 oz of milk total in the last 3 days. When prior to 3 days ago he would drink 3-4 cups 8oz each a day. I’m not sure if it’s the heat (I live in California) so this week temps have finally gone up, so I’m not sure if that’s it or what. But he’s drinking water fine

I mean by that age my daughter was fully dependent on table food and no bottle but normal had a cup of milk in the morning
It’s personal choice what kind of milk any of us drink after age 2, if any at all.
Heck, I STILL drink it We prefer ours to not be store bought, though.
Somewhere around 18 months to 2 they usually stop drinking it so regularly, but still enjoy some from time to time
My son slowed down at 3 years but hasn’t stopped, is 17 at 6’7ish. My daughter however hasn’t slowed down and is 14 and has some of the strong, long nails.

Kiddos are 5&7 and never stopped lol. Milk with all meals! But if you mean bottle wise it was a struggle, we had to switch to sippy cups. But they were legit 3.5 before they’d sleep without the cup it was an awful comforting thing. I had to eventually cut it out because we were training for no pull ups for bedtime!
We still drink it, just don’t send it to bed with them

Just remember that kids need the fat content in whole milk. The fat is crucial to healthy organ and brain development. So don’t go to low fat or other milks that don’t contain the fat.
