Starting Milk....(Parents of toddlers)

bgsugrad · February 2009

Did anyone's DC not like cow's milk when they first started it. My DD is a GREAT eater and I haven't found anything she doesn't like! However, we have started milk and each time she drinks if from her sippie cup, she gags and makes a face. I give her formula/milk mix in her nighttime bottle, which she does fine with but I have been trying to get her to just drink milk in her cup at breakfast & lunch. Just curious if this is something anyone experienced and did your DC end up loving milk? She has only tried it about 2 weeks, so I'm sure it will get better, right?

Just keep offering it to her. Katie didn't care for the taste that much in the beginning, but now she drinks it like a champ. I always offered milk when she woke up, at each meal, and a glass at night. She would have another sippy cup with water to drink in between meals.

In the beginning, we barely made it through a quart of milk. Now, we go through a gallon or more in a week.

Charlotte wasn't a fan at first. So we mixed it with formula (gradually less and less) until she got used to the taste. Now she chugs it by the gallon.

Caleb did the SAME thing. My mom ended up putting 2 tiny plops of chocolate syrup in about 6 oz and he LOVED it. We let him drink it like that a few days, then put less chocolate in and now he takes it straight up! :-) Good luck.
