Hello all,
My 19 month old DD passed her hospital food challenge for milk on Friday - hooray! I was told to wait 48 hours, then give her 150ml of cow's milk a day for a week, then 200 ml, then 300, then on the fourth week introduces cheese and yogurt.
So we should be starting today and I cannot get her to drink it! So far I've tried cold milk, warm milk, three different cups and hiding it in her porridge, and have been met with absolute disgust. She's still breastfeeding, pretty enthusiastically, but I've never been able to express so mixing in with bm not really an option.
Any tips? How important is it to follow the guidance to the letter? I might be able to get some down her with a syringe but not 150ml.
She's got a cold which isn't helping as she just wants boob and water and I don't like to refuse when she's under the weather. Wasn't expecting it to be this hard!!
