11 month old that won't drink milk or formula
Ok, I am totally at a loss...
Addison is 11 months.. she won't BF any more(hasn't for over a month really).. won't take a bottle.. won't drink milk or formula out of a sippy.. only will drink water or watered down juice out of a sippy... she HATES the taste of formula and won't try milk...
Is it terrible that she won't don't drink them? Any one else have this problem?
I never had this problem with my other 2  Mallory gave me a little trouble...but eventually she drank milk....but this Addy she is STUBBORN 
She does eat food like a moose though.... she'll eat anything.. and lots of it!

Re: 11 month old that won't drink milk or formula
I did not have this problem but wanted to say...I think you should call your pediatrician today, and ask about it.
I could be wrong...but I believe babies need formula/milk for the vitamins, fat content etc at this age.
They may say that if she's eating enough dairy in other ways (cheese, yogurt) it would be ok that the only fluids be water and juice. I would think that as long as she's on a vitamin supplement and eating dairy foods you'd be ok but i definitely think this warrants a call. Good luck!!! Hopefully this phase passes!

I had this problem, I started putting a little strawberry syrup in the milk and then she drank it... eventually I lessened the amount and now she drinks the milk plain...

My SIL ran into a similar problem with my nephew. They made her give him the calcium stuff mixed with water which surprisingly enough he would drink. As he got a little older she did the strawberry syrup in milk and he liked that as well. I would give the ped a quick call and see what they recommend.

hannah wont drink milk from the sippy, but she is 19 mos old. the doc said not to worry since she eats cheese and yogurt and vegetables that are high in calcium.
i am going to try that strawberry syrup though!
