I increasingly have more kids who absolutely hate milk. I have 4 right now that will not drink it. They literally gag. What do you do with the food program and this? She told me to give them a cup of milk and water, that seems so ridiculous just curious if others have run into this.

If they ask for water, they can have water.
But milk down the drain or in their tummy is the same either way....gone.
I am reimbursed either way.

I had 2 SA sisters who refused milk. My FP rep caught me giving them just water one day. Oops. She said all I have to do is give enough in a cup to cover the bottom. If they drink that, offer more. For as long as I had them, they refused adamantly. I guess I don't see the point in pushing milk so hard. As long as it's not getting substituted with sugary drinks. Milk isn't 'all that'. I now have a 17 mo who started refusing milk at around a year when she dropped the bottle. I offer her drops of milk from a big cup and who knows how much she actually takes in because a lot of dribble happens. Lol It's all I can do.

I choose to make up the component lost, though, because I want them to have strong bones and full bellies. I offer some form of cheese (slices, cubes, cream cheese, cottage, mini-wheels, etc.) or yogurt with each meal/snack.- Unless otherwise stated, all my posts are personal opinion and worth what you paid for them.

That would get me a violation citation.- Unless otherwise stated, all my posts are personal opinion and worth what you paid for them.
