Milk



I am trying to get Reese to drink more cows milk. We are nursing about three to four times a day but it would be great if she would take to other milk, besides Mama's. It is a slow process:

If I hand it to her, she throws it on the ground.
If I leave it cold, from the fridge, it shocks her.
If I give it in her regular sippy cup (with handles) she looks at it like poison.
If I take the chill off, she will drink it.
If I leave it in the living room, she will drink it.
If I serve it in this sport like bottle (above), she will drink it.
If I give her the control, she will drink it.

I waste so much of it because she doesn't drink much. I try to only put like maybe 1/2 cup in but she still won't finish that. I guess if I went cold turkey with nursing she may take more, but I am not ready for that.

Maddie was the same with milk but now all of a sudden she can't get enough of it and downs it all really fast.

I think you've tried soy, however she may take a liking to nut milks! They are very healthy! E liked almond milk but he was a vanilla soy baby, still is! He had a cow milk allergy like me also like Reese's auntie Tracy! So beware, it runs in the fam.
