Advice please!

Hi Ladies

My son is 13 months old. He's been on cow's milk for about 6 weeks (since his birthday in May) and has had no problems with it at all until the last week or so. He has it with his breakfast cereal no problem. He still has a bedtime bottle (about 7.30pm) where he used to drink the whole 9oz, then goes off to sleep for the night. For the last two nights in particular, but building up to it for the previous week really, he's made a real fuss about having his bottle and been getting really upset poor little man. Is he telling me that he doesn't want his bedtime bottle anymore? He made a fuss like this when he was dropping his other bottles and going over to solid foods... I was under the impression that toddlers still had milk before bed for quite a while - am I wrong? This is my first child so I continue to remain clueless! The complicating factor is that he had his MMR jab last week on Tuesday (30th June). Is he now feeling a bit grotty as a result of that? I know that can happen. He's been a little off his food during the day too, although still eating about 3/4 of what he would eat normally.

Any ideas/suggestions/advice very gratefully received.

Thanks
