Would love to exchange stories about parenting and kids stuff. You have a blog? Perhaps you can leave your URL and we can all visit and share. It's really strange that your little girl won't touch food by their colour!! First time I'm hearing this...hehe. Hi Wendy, thanks for dropping by.

Would love to exchange stories. Although I must say, it’s getting better now, and I believe part of the refusal was due to teething (she started teething at 4 months). She’s still not adventurous with new food, and is fussy not just on taste but on texture and colour as well. For example, she won’t eat anything that’s orange in colour, other than oranges. How strange is that? Hey there, I have an almost 2 year old girl who’s a very fussy eater, in fact since birth. Would love to exchange stories.

He's due for a jab soon so I guess I'll ask then. He doesn't have constipation problem and we're glad. We give him lots of vege, fruits and water. Maybe these help. Ai-Ling, that's my hubby's theory too of why he's drinking so much milk, because it's sweet and tastes good to him! We didn't try it but the babysitter did and confirmed that it's sweet. I'll watch his eating/milk pattern and see how it goes. Michelle, I'm glad to hear it's normal! As long as he's not getting obese or losing weight despite eating, it shouldn't be too major a concern, right? He's 18 months now. Amy, I’ve yet to ask the paed.

As long as your toddler is not overweight, it should be fine. How old is your toddler? It is normal because toddler grow and they need more food/milk.

How old is your toddler?

His demand for milk was endless. DH and I were worried too. Imagine, there were times when he demanded for 2 bottles of milk (and that would be 16 ozs!!) before he goes to bed! It went on for several weeks and then it went back to the usual mode. Btw, I guess one of the reasons why some toddlers are craving for more milk at odd hours is because Enfa milk range tastes YUMMY and sweet, in fact. How do I know that? I did squirt some onto my palm and tried it, out of curiosity. Amy, you are right about the some toddlers having constipation problem after switching to Enfagrow. Ours had that problem for a week, but they were fine after that :) I once had similar problem with my #1 when he was about your kid’s age. His demand for milk was endless. DH and I were worried too.
