Pics & a Question/concern.

Question/concern....
Adriana has been on whole milk now for a
couple of weeks. At first when I gave it
to her, I mixed it with her formula until
it eventually became all milk, no formula.
Well she didn't like it. She won't take it
in a sippy cup at all. If she see's me
pour it in her cup, she'll throw it as
soon as I give it to her. And if she
doesn't know it's milk, she'll take a
drink and throw it. I've tried it warm,
I've tried it cold....She just won't drink
it. She loves cereal (kix) but she doesn't
get enough milk out of that. So.......she
has also been off the bottle for a couple
of weeks or so also, so I tried the milk
in her bottle (yes...I went backwards
 ) and
she will drink it that way....I can
usually get her to drink about 8oz/day
like that. But there again, she *was*
completely off her bottle with no problems
at all. She's never been dependant on her
bottle, nor cried for it. But her Dr.
wants her to get at least 16oz of milk a
day. So I don't know what to do. I try to
give her a bit more of other dairy
products to make up for it, but obviously
that still isn't enough. Any suggestions?
Should I be concerned? She seems just
find. She's full of energy.......my
goodness is she full of energy! help!
Ok, now for the good stuff.
Sporting a new birthday outfit....
Grandma, get .daisy off of me!....(she
actually likes the ferret, but she has a
funny look here)
My big girl, last .sunday
Close up, with her new dress and hair
clips (they're glittery!)
The end.
*edited to add 1 more
From just now, "can't find me here mom!"

I wouldn't be too worried about her not
having enough milk, especially if you are
able to make up some of the loss with
other dairy products..with my kids, I
always gave them yogurt (there's a kind
specifically for babies, but I never had
any problems with the regular kinds
either) slices of cheese and things like
that..another thing you can try, is adding
a little bit of flavor to the milk, if she
likes it..we were told we could add
Ovaltine malted milk (or something like
that..it's been so long it's hard to
remember)...it's like chocolate milk
powder, but it has added vitamins and
nutrients to it, though I wouldn't do that
too often...one other thing, try adding
some dry milk powder to some of her foods
(if she eats oatmeal or mashed potatoes,
things like that)..

if it were me, i would let him have the
milk in a bottle. im not going to take him
of the bottle at one, i think that is a
bit young, IMO, especially since breastfed
babies get to have that comfort as long as
they want, it just doesnt seem fair to me.
but like someone said, you can supplement
calcium in other forms too. like other
dairy products.

Thanks for all the info!
She loves yogurt, and string cheese...so
those are a typical snack. She'd live on
just fruit if I let her tho! I think I'll
see if the ovaltine stuff works. I'll also
try the powdered milk, she doesn't like
oatmeal....but I'm sure I could find
something to put it in 
Thank you .terra berra! I have been
putting just 1 clip in, and combing most
of her bangs to one side, but I just tried
this on .sunday, and I really like it. I
love being able to put cute things in her
hair

My son is 2 now and still has a bottle
every evening before bed. It's his
comfort thing and it doesn't worry me at
all - I was still having my "bokkle" at 3!

Jules, I started giving her a bottle
before bed time now. I just wish she'd
drink it from her cups. Maybe she will
with time...hard to say.

I hate milk and I always have. I get my
calcium from yogurt, cheeses, ice milk,
and I will drink chocolate milk. I just
can't stand the way milk smells and
tastes. .U.C.K.Y.
She is so darling. She looks like a big
girl

Thanks for all the nice comments ladies,
as well as advice. She's a completely
normal 1 year old. She's full of energy
and such a brut....she doesn't get hurt
easily. If she does cry when she falls
it's because she's mad!! Crazy girl.

adriana is absolutely adorable! i cnat get
over how much she looks like my sister at
that age. if my computer hadnt crash and
erased all my pics id show ya,
and as far as the milk its hard for kids
to give up two things they love, id rather
liam drink from a cup but he doesnt want
it that way so i figure its better to ,et
him have the bottle for now and when hes
use to the milk go for the cup all the way

I love how cute her hair always
looks. You always find the best ways to
play with her hair, and they always
compliment her. Adriana is such a beauty!
I don't know what to say about the milk
thing. I can't stand drinking white milk.
If it's not chocolate, I can't stand it
unless .i'm having cookies or cake or
cereal.
