Personal   observation - toddlers are lazy and parents don't like to fight 
over food, so it is easiest to give them endless bottles.  I've had kids 
come in who drink 32-64 oz of milk a day! and their parents complain they 
won't eat food!  My favorite line is "cut off the cow."  It seems to be a 
vicious cycle, the kid won't eat , so parents give a bottle because the kid 
didn't eat, the kid is full of milk, so the kid won't eat, etc.  Parents are 
obsessed with feeding kids, just not the right things at the right times!  I 
also quote Ellen Sater a lot, parents' job is to provide good food, kid's 
job is to decide what and how much to eat of it.  Something breastfed babies 
learn early!!!!  Pat in SNJ
