Should I try and
push cow's milk as a drink in a week or so if the nursing strike

Starting at 12 months I offered both my kids a cup of milk with each
meal. I really wanted Hunter to drink it so I gave him chocolate
milk. They did not want it at first but both started drinking it
regularly in 2-3 months. Luke really took off on it, Hunter was more
conservative. I still buy him chocolate milk every other week or so
because I don't feel he gets enough calcium from his diet.

Thanks Nikki - I'll try that. Till now she has only had BM or water

didn't like juice, and didn't like milk. But I'll keep offering, and
try
chocolate milk (if I can keep it away from DH!).

To do chocolate milk, you might want to just get some Hershey's syrup
(or equivalent) and add some to the milk, rather than commercially
done chocolate milk, which has a ton of added sugar.

That's a great idea, thanks. I know that DH would polish off chocolate milk
(prob before I could give it to DD) if I did buy it (haven't as yet) which
makes it pricey.
