Answer: Hi There,
There are a couple of things to consider. Firstly, not all children drink cows` milk or can drink it and most do just fine. You might like to instead try milk with some yoghurt and fruit, then blended up into small smoothie as an afternoon snack. Smoothies can be a great way to start off on milk. If you toddler has an association with the colour the fruit, say strawberries, can be a great way of overcoming this.

Also keep in mind that you don`t have to use cows` milk. You can also use alternative milks such as soy, rice, almond and oat. Just as long as you choose the ones that are calcium-enriched, they can be a lovely fluid for your toddler.

You may like to start out with some in some breakfast cereal or in a smoothie again. Offer just a little and then graduate onto a sipper cup with milk.

I have a tip sheet on Huggies on weaning and cows` milk, it explains how much milk toddlers need in order to reach their daily serving and RDI of calcium. The link is:
Milk Intake

If you are still concerned pop into see your CHN for some more tips.

All the best, fingers crossed,
Leanne
