Why do you want her to drink milk? Frankly, if she doesn't like it, I think my own tendancy would be to give her water to drink rather trying to "dress up" the milk. I certainly wouldn't be adding sugar or any artificial sweeteners to it. -- Children won't care how much you know until they know how much you care |

Cow's milk isn't a necessity for toddlers, although I think they're probably better off nutritionally at this age if they're either still nursing or taking formula if they won't drink milk or a milk substitute like soy milk that provides similar nutritional value. If necessary, though, they can get sufficient calcium from a single serving of calcium-fortified orange juice and some cheese or yogurt during the day. Neither of my older children likes milk; they'll take it on cereal, but they don't eat cereal often, and they NEVER drank it, even at 14 months. My youngest likes milk, but he doesn't drink it on a daily basis. -- Be well, Barbara |

Try soymilk, rice milk, or almond milk. Look for the fortified ones that have the same amount of calcium, etc. as cow milk. I have found vanilla in any of the nut milks to taste about the best. There are many other ways for your child to get calcium if he/she does not like milk. There are far too many selections of calcium rich food/drinks to focus on milk. Plus, the more of a "deal" you make it; the more she/he'll not like it. |

It might be just a matter of 'keep offering it'. My oldest didn't take to milk. I did add chocolate. I mixed 1/2 chocolate milk and 1/2 white milk. I just can't get all that worked up about a little chocolate/sugar myself but I know others disagree. ;-) They don't drink a whole lot, probably not even what is recommended. I think it was the fact that I just kept offering it, and never made a big deal of it, that got him started. I gave him a glass at least once a day. For the first few months he didn't drink more then a sip but eventually he started drinking a glass a day. I do view milk as an important part of a nutritional diet for my kids, especially my oldest. He does not eat other dairy like yogurt or cheese, doesn't like orange juice, and would never eat enough broccoli to get enough calcium :-) He might go for a gallon of ice cream though, lol. He does eat cereal so gets milk then and now my youngest has gone on a bit of a milk strike. He doesn't eat cereal much but he does like cheese and yogurt so gets some calcium there. -- Nikki Hunter 4/99 Luke 4/01 Thing One and Thing Two :-) EDD 4/06 |
