Hello Mrs., thank you for your question! Your child should only drink milk or formula at this age. You are doing the right thing by offering it regularly. I encourage you to continue doing so. As long as he drinks, even if it's less than usual, and he wets and soils his diaper, you don't need to worry :) Sincerely, Tom Samaha, pharmacist We'd love to!
