Cows Milk Refuser!!

Plokahontas · 17/08/2012 21:37

My DD is 8mo and I am trying to get her used to cows milk for when she is 1yr old.
She is still having meals / bottles of formula as normal and will drink water & squash from a sippy cup but absolutely hates milk and spits it out.

I'm not suggesting switching her to cow's milk instead of formula now, but would like to know if there are any ways I can get her used to the taste of it before she switches to it in a few months. Thanks.

do you use it in her cereal?

Yes but have had to disguise the taste. I give her readybrek but she will only eat it with jam or fruit puree in, same with weetabix and mashed banana.

Have tried making those baby porridges up with milk but she won't touch them but will hoover them when made up with water

What about half milk half formula and slowly increase milk?

I was going to suggest 50/50 milk and formula too. Or try 1/4 milk with 3/4 formula first then start increasing the milk.

Another idea could be milk shake powder. But it's got quite a lot of sugar in so depends on how you feel about that.
