Breast Milk Decreasing - Help!

My son is just 11mo and I am trying to breast feed until 12mo or longer. I work 3d/wk so pump at work. He gets 2 bottles or sippy cups while I'm at work, 6 oz each.

She is really into arts and...

How Do You Get a Two-year-old to Drink His Milk?

My 2 year old son has never been much for drinking his milk. At his one year check up, he had fallen off his growth curve, so the doctor suggested adding ice cream to his diet (lucky kid!). This worked for about 7 months, but now he will barely touch his ice cream either. He doesn't seem to have problems digesting dairy, and he drinks his milk much better at day care since its what all the other kids are doing. He loves cheese, but has constipation issues, so supplementing with cheese alone is out. We mix Carnation Instant Breakfast in with...
