Dr. Zakia Dimassi Pediatrics
Now that your child has become 2 years of age, it is time for him to start drinking his milk from a cup (sippy cup) rather than from a bottle. This is especially important at night when children tend to fall asleep with the bottle of milk in their mouths and end up developing dental caries of their incisors (front teeth). I believe that by using a cup ,this will encourage your child to drink his milk, especially if you do this together (you or his father, and even older sibling for example). If he is adamant about refusing to drink his milk, try adding some cocoa powder (preferably sugar free) with a bit of honey to the milk. Another option, as a last resort, is giving him laban instead, and making sure he consumes enough dairy products every day (labneh, yogurt, sweets based on milk such as mouhallabiyyeh or rice with milk).
