My kids don’t drink milk and never really did once I weaned them. As long as they are getting dairy from other sources – yoghurt cheese etc I wouldn’t worry.

You can buy straws with flavouring in them that have less sugar etc. in them that chocolate and other flavour poders you put in milk. She may like at as it will be a novelty. There is a small packet you can buy. A box is a more economical way to buy them and has more flavours.

If your child wont drink it offer yoghurt or cheese, some just hate the flavour

Use a natural flavouring, she might enjoy a little taste

My little one drink with cup using straw.

maybe blend some fruits in it?

I never liked the taste of it either and still can’t drink it plain to this day. My mum just gave me plenty of your fry and cheese to make sure I was getting a good around of my calcium.

My mum said I was the same. When I went of the bottle I refused to drink milk. I still don’t drink Milk now. I cant stand the taste. As long as she is still having dairy there wont really be a problem.

I wouldn’t see it as a massive issue as she is on solids. What about other sources of calcium such as cheese, yoghurt or vegetables and fruit high in calcium?

how are they going now?

i hope its worked out

Hope you had some success.

They can be fussy little munchkins! Mine will only settle with her night bottle, will have water out of a sippy cup, milk and juice out of sippy straw cups and you can’t mix them or she won’t drink it.

What did you end up doing?

Try her on a straw in a cup, its exciting and she might want to give it a go

Have you had any luck with the advice below?

The fact she is eating cheese and yoghurt is great-they are much better sources of calcium than milk.

Have a curly straw for her to drink out of

I really wouldn’t worry too much, just make sure shes eating cheese and yoghurt. If you haven’t already, try a soft spouted sippy cup. They’re most like a bottle so she may just take to it.

Try using a novelty sippy cup… You can get them with all sorts of characters on them and I believe that Toy’s R’ Us even has them with names on… Maybe by adding a little bit of fun to milk time it might encourage her…
