Milk abroad

[Sexonlegs]

DD2 is nearly 2 and is on cows milk. We are off on holiday tomorrow, and I am worried about her not liking the milk and then being put off for ever (as happened with dd1 when she was of a similar age and she tried milk in Croatia)

Any thoughts? Advice?

Thank you

Take milkshake powder with you to put in the milk to flavour - this way she gets her milk but as stawberry flavour or choolate flavour.

You can get straws that do this. Not the sort of thinkg I would normally give my dc but needs must it may work.

The only time we were caught out was when DS1 had stopped breastfeeding and he was drinking lots of cows' milk.

We were in the South of France and could only buy UHT - that was fine, he would drink it. But we could only buy litre cartons, and it was very difficult to keep cold when we were out and about. We had a cooler, but it wasn't easy to buy ice.

In retrospect, it would have been better have him on follow-on formula which you could get in small cartons or in sachets to add to water. He never did formula, but that would have been one time when it worked.

My other kids stayed on the boob until 2 or 3, so never depended on cows' milk for their calories.

Can I ask If anyone took formula with them? My DTwins will be 18 months when we go to Egypt and they have only really had boob or cow milk. Is it worth schlepping over boxes or will we be ok locally?
