how do you get a child to drink 1 pint milk a day?

My dd is just over a year and now only has the morning b/f. Trouble is she is not keen on milk (formula, cow's, goat's, warm, cold - tried everything) and I have no idea how to get the required 1 pint in her a day. I cook with milk and cheese and she has yoghurts etc but no way does it all add up to a pint! I am persisting, and she drinks a little if she's really thirsty and there's no alternative. She loves water and will happily drink that in preference to anything else (apart from mummy's milk that is). Anyone out there had similar problems and what is the answer? Should I just not worry about it? She is mostly veggie but eats some fish at least 3 days a week.

Did the custard thing - she acted like I was trying to poison her! Her dad says milk makes him feel sick as does my own mother so maybe she's 'lactose intolerant'? However, both mum and dp like yoghurt, icecream and cheese etc like dd so maybe it's just the taste that turns them all off? Can't understand it - I love milk. Anyway, got some Kraft slices which I melt on top of dinners and put in sandwiches and have decided to stop worrying. So much.
