2 years kid not eating food

Question

Asked for Female, 2 Years

He'll Doctor, My son is almost 2 years old. He's mostly drinks milk than eating food. Even having food he immediately drinks milk (In some cases, I'll think like he just have food, so he won't drink milk. But he drinks). Day time I'm feeding him cow milk (500 ml) and at night Dexolac (demand basis after he sleeps). So my question is in 1 week he's turning 2. And I can't give formula milk . Can I give like 1 liter of animal milk in a day like full cream milk. I even consulted pediatrician but while taking medication he eats after that slowly he refuses to eat. Please suggest. Thank you.

Too much cows milk in a day also causes reduced appetite . One cup milk twice a day maximum is more than enough for kids of that age . 1 litre a day is way too much. Eating issues are age related they wil slowly change as they grow older not to worry
