Milk!

We went cold turkey on bottles for my 20 month old about two weeks ago. He doesn't seem to care about his bottle, but getting him to drink milk now is challenging to say the least. He drinks water out of a sippy cup and refuses to drink milk in anything but a bottle. It is driving me INSANE. He likes milk, since he would drink it in his bottle every day, so the taste isn't the issue. We've tried chocolate milk, milk cartons, milk in a regular cup with a straw, sippy cup... nothing works. Any thoughts??? The main concern I have is that he's also going through a picky eating stage (at least I hope it's a stage) so he's not even making up for the dairy because he won't touch yogurt or anything. He will eat cheese if it's like a grilled cheese or something but that's the extent.  We cut out juice and have only been offering him milk and water but of course he just drinks the water. I figured by now he would just get over it and drink the stinkin' milk! STUBBORN! He acknowledges the milk in his sippy cup by saying "milk!" so he knows what it is, but he just refuses to drink it. Just wondering if anyone's child is as strange as mine ;)

    According to my mom - she made watered down powdered milk and put that in the bottle.  Then used whole milk in cups.  Milk in cups just tastes better than in a bottle!  

    She put the powdered milk in an empty milk jug so we didn't k

    My DD1 was the same way when we cut out the bottles a few months ago.  What we did was offer only milk with meals, the water sippy was out of site until after she was out of the highchair.  She could drink as much water as she wanted to all thro

    DD doesn't like the milk when it's cold, straight from the fridge.  After it has sat out for a 10-20 min, she will drink it better.  Obviously I try not to let it sit out too long because it's milk and should be cold.  I'm hoping she'll get
