Sometimes excessive intake of milk could be a cause. From 12 to 18 months of age no more than 16 to 24 ounces or 2-3 cups of milk are needed per day. The teat of a feeding bottle interferes with taste buds on the tongue and a child cannot relish foods. Therefore it is preferable to give milk with a cup. Offer him food when he is hungry. You may give him milk if some appetite is remaining after solids. He may have developed anaemia if he is on milk only. If a blood test confirms anaemia giving iron supplements may improve appetite. Syrups claimed to improve appetite are not recommended.
