Is anyone else having a problem introducing milk??

Question

My daughter does not want her formula anymore. Won’t drink from a bottle and does not like milk. 🤷🏻‍♀️ she suddenly went from baby to toddler 😢
I know she is supposed to get about 16oz of milk in a day. And I’m lucky if I get her to drink 4. I have mixed formula and milk..nope
Mixed water and milk... nope
Made a smoothie with different fruits..4oz if I’m lucky
Straight milk...nope
Anyone experiencing or experienced this? I’m a first time mom and I’m worried because I know she needs the vitamins and nutrients from the milk. 
Thanks!

Answer

I’m in the exact same boat! We have tried it ALL. I even broke down and tried chocolate milk and she wasn’t having that either. I just gave up and try to give her cheese and yogurt 🤷🏼‍♀️

Answer

I’m not a fan of letting my kid fill up on milk so we offer other forms of dairy through the day like cheese, yogurt and cottage cheese. You could also try almond milk! There are so many milk alternatives to try now (some are super expensive). Don’t take it as a bad thing that your baby doesn’t like milk!

Answer

This has CONSUMED my entire week - when to present milk, in what form, in what container, at what time. UGH. We’re like you, she’s lucky to drink 4 oz of while milk a day. We offer at each meal and at playtime - she’ll ignore her milk cup to drink another kids water cup. Are people putting milk in bottles? Should we try that? That feels like we’d be moving backwards.

Answer

I still breast feed but my dr also said since he doesn’t like regular milk he doesn’t have to have it. Just make sure they get it in other ways like cheeses and yogurts :)

I see your lactose comment too, my toddler had a problem with whole milk and we ended up needing to switch to lactose free milk. 
So I knew with my June baby this could happen, and it has. So she’s also on lactose free milk, but 2% because she can’t handle whole milk 
Also, I’d max it at 12-16 ozs of milk. If they’re eating other forms of dairy they don’t need as much. Both my kids took using straw cups to drink milk. They’d drink it fine out of bottles but ditching the bottle is another battle! 
Good luck!
