My daughter dosent much care for milk?

Question

she is 11 months old. I have been giving her cows milk for about 2 weeks now. Mainly with meals. She also gets breastfeed. But she dosent drink much, if any of her cows milk and makes a funny face. any suggestion? I have been giving her 1% milk.

Answer 1

its recommended to use whole milk. Ive also heard that goats milk is closer to human milk, you might want to try that

Answer 2

Breastfed babies don't need cow's milk so I wouldn't worry about it, and they also shouldn't have milk before a year old. Whole milk is best for babies because it has extra fats which they need for brain development. Most breastfed babies I know don't like cow's milk. Breastmilk just tastes better.

Answer 3

give her whole milk , I also started my daughter on milk at 11 months old , and she is fine and almost 2 now..  

Answer 4

i wouldnt drink 1% either. you should be giving her whole milk right now, there isnt much to 1% at all.

Give her whole milke (3%), and add a little syrup in it to make it chocholate milk.

Answer 5

1% is to watery and there isnt enough fat for baby. Try giving her 2%

Answer 6

well you should start them off with whole milk so they can get as many nutrients from it as possible...after the age of 2 you can go with 1%...but to get her used to milk now...try mixing it with breast milk...a little more breast milk than milk for one week...and each week...start adding more milk and less breast milk...she will get used to it eventually

Answer 7

Babies upto 2 years of age should be given whole milk.

Answer 8

she needs whole milk.  NOT skim or 1% or 2%.    1% milk taste awful.  It taste like colored water.  

Answer 9

You could try putting a TINY amount of strawberry flavoring in it.  also, kids get calcium from other sources like yogurt, cheeses, broccoli.

Answer 10

Unless you are trying to wean her, just keep breastfeeding.  Kids don't need cows milk (which like everyone said already, should be whole milk at least until 2 years of age).  Cows milk is basically just a substitute for formula after baby turns 1.  I think it is much less expensive and the babies can then digest it by that age and that's why formula feeding parents switch.  Breastfeeding parents don't have to introduce it or anything although it may be convenient.  If you really want to, try mixing it with your expressed milk (first 3:1, then 1:1, then 1:3 until she gets used to it).  She probably realizes its much saltier and far less sweet than the good stuff and that's why she doesn't like it.
