Is it only MY son???

okay so my son is 2 and he drinks A LOT of milk! It's not even funny!!! he goes through 3/4 of the gallon a day!!! I bet he could drink all of it if i let him!  I just gave him some and he comes back to me and says "mama more peee" (please) lol .... He better have very good bones growing up!!! lol

So are any of your kids like this? How do you limit them? Do i just let him drink all he wants?

Unfortunately no...my son won't even drink milk.

hes drinking too much milk..we give ours about 2-3 cups milk, 2-3 cups juice, and the rest water..

but it shouldnt be bad right? I mean milk is supposed to be healthy?

None of my kids really care for milk, they drink a lot of water.

My son is the same way. We go through about 6 to 7 gal of milk a month. he's 4.

offer somrthing else.  If hr won't drink regular water, Fruit 2 O, has flavored water with o calories and no sugar.  My kids drink it.  A lot of doctors are telling parents to stay away from juice because of the sugar content.  If nothing else tell him NO, it's water or nothing!

it is healthy..but he absolutly needs those other fluids many times a day..

 I havent been able to get julian to drink milk since he was about 8 months old!

Too much milk is actually bad for a child's digestive system...or so i'm told by my kids pedi.  My kids get 2 cups a day.
