Hi! I was wondering if I could get some feedback regarding my son and milk (cow's). He LOVES milk. But someone (in the medical field) suggested to us that maybe we should cut back on his milk. He gets two cups a day: one in the morning and one before bedtime. He is ten years old, weighs 58 pounds, average-to-high for his height. He is VERY energetic, and gets terrific grades in school (majority As, a couple of Bs). He hardly ever gets sick, except he DOES have seasonal allergies (Spring and Fall). Our concern is his weight. We have to bribe him to eat - he is also VERY picky. He loves breads, fruits, and vegetables-our problem is getting him to eat protein. By the way, his father was a "stick" as a kid, and so was I. We have one older child, a son. Our eldest is 25 yrs (there was a miscarriage in between). Our eldest son was the same way; he was a "stick" as a child also. But then something "happened" when he turned 17 yrs-I couldn't keep enough food in the house-he ate everything.
