DS didn't like it at all when he turned 1, and even now at 20 months old, he doesn't always drink it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-get-your-lo-to-drink-whole-milk#post-1164201 Mon, 21 Oct 2013 16:21:33 +0000 Freckles 1164201@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My LO hates whole milk. I tried organic, different brands, hot, warm, cold. I even added a bit of cocoa powder and nothing. I gave her a straw. I gave it to her out of a shot glass. </p> <p>The cocoa powder worked once (it wasn't that sweet) but she wouldn't have it after that. I don't care anymore. She eats yogurt and cheese, and my ped said i shouldn't worry. He did encourage me to keep trying back at 12 months but she's doing well on the growth chart that he's not concerned. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-get-your-lo-to-drink-whole-milk#post-1164173 Mon, 21 Oct 2013 16:11:58 +0000 googly-eyes 1164173@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would just keep trying occasionally and when he's ready he will drink it. I have no evidence that this works but wait and try again later has been the only thing that has worked for us in terms of sippy cup, drinking milk cold, and a variety of other things. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-get-your-lo-to-drink-whole-milk#post-1164155 Mon, 21 Oct 2013 16:04:56 +0000 jmarionsmith 1164155@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>i think just keep trying. if he drinks water from a cup, maybe you could gradually add milk to his water until its more milk than water? </p> <p>but like you said, i wouldn't worry about it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-get-your-lo-to-drink-whole-milk#post-1164150 Mon, 21 Oct 2013 16:02:03 +0000 lovehoneybee 1164150@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>E won't drink it. I've tried it at pretty much every temperature from ice cold to warmed, with varying amounts of Ovaltine for flavor (seriously, who doesn't like chocolate milk?) in a variety of cups. </p> <p>He still nurses at least once a day and has a good amount of cheese and yogurt so I'm not super worried, but his pedi has mentioned twice to us that we should start trying to get him to drink it...</p> <p>I don't know what else to try! Am I missing something? </p>
