22 months old hate milk

by twin_mama, Oct 24, 2007 07:28AM
My son just started to hate milk, I tried to put chocolat on it, strawberry sirop, serve it as milk shake...all kind of ways and still refuses it. I know how important is milk for children at this age; so please help me with suggestions and tips how to get him drink milk or suggest any other alternatives.
NB; he has a twin sister and when she sees him refusing milk she decides not drinking it neither, so it makes the problem even worse.
NEED HELP PLEASE.

Have you tried chocolate soymilk, Pedisure, or milkshakes? Engage him in being a part of making food, so try making milkshakes. Use milk or soymilk, ice cream and some banana (any fruit). Whip it up in a blender and you have a drink packed with protein and calories, and hopefully he will accept it. If he still refuses, do not worry; there are other substitutes for milk such as ice creams, frozen yogurt, cheeses, and yogurt. Hope this helps you, and thank you for your question.

My son rarely drinks milk either. Normally I try to give him more cheese, yogurt, and ice cream ( which he loves) and sometimes.... rarely.. if i am having some he will come up and take some of mine. I just try to give him more dairy.... kids will be kids... and its a phase that he'll hopefully soon grow out of! ( i'm praying)

Do not feed the kid any dairy products.

If you want your kids to have cancer and behaviour problems keep feeding them the milk.

Im 30 years old. My name is Chris Saila. Ive worked the past 10 years as an internet consultant. I have been behaviourally affected by consuming dairy products for my entire life. My mother suspected I was allergic to milk from about age 8-9 on, yet she did nothing about it.. And continued to feed me dairy products or products that have hidden milk ingredients.. If I consume anything from dairy products, I might as well go to sleep and try again tomorrow after the stuff has gone thru my system because it makes me feel crazy.. I can feel somethings wrong now.. I didnt know how to deal with it when i was younger.. or what was the matter.. I wasn't on the level to diagnose myself at the time..  Do yourselves a huge favour and remove any and all dairy products from your childrens diets and observe. do this for a period of one month.. IT will take a concerted effort on your part.. It is not as easy as it sounds as you can easily buy something like, say raisin bread, from the grocery store.. and bingo. it has milk ingredients.. this **** is in everything, you wonder why theres been so many health problems in north america for the last 100 years well it starts with the dairy industry. Eat Vietnamese or Japanese and you wont have a heart attack at age 40 or 50. If you ask me, these same growth hormones they are putting in the livestock to produce more, are responsible for these malformed obese people you see on reality tv shows like jerry springer.. these people arent rejects.. they are just more highly susceptible to the poisons that exist in the food supply.. Soy milk is **** too if you want my opinion. Stick with WATER + FRUIT..

ICE CREAM is the best thing to feed your kid if you want them to go ballistic hyperactive for the next 2 days.

CHEESE is not healthy, if the kids getting gas from eating cheese DO NOT FEED IT TO YOUR CHILD.

kids will be kids.. yes..
but will adults be proper parents to these children? and
take it upon themselves to care a bit more about their
nutrition and actually READ and RESEARCH ?
most dont!!! they blindly believe what the dairy industry wants
them to.. because it makes them tons of $$$$$$$$$$$.


"MILK DOES A BODY GOOD!" we dont hear that anymore do we?
WHY NOT?? Because theyve been taken to court and they arent allowed
to FALSE ADVERTISE anymore..

anyway i have to get back to  my life.. u want my advice??
STOP POISONING YOUR KIDS WITH MILK PRODUCTS.

I wish icould make tshirts of this, spray paint it on the sky dome and cn tower.. to make some people understand what they are doing to their children...
u think u are doing whats good but u got itall wrong..

LOL Dude.. you have something wrong with you.. You write.."I have been behaviourally affected by consuming dairy products for my entire life. My mother suspected I was allergic to milk from about age 8-9 on, yet she did nothing about it." go see a shrink and get some help for what your mother did to you...
FOR ALL MOTHERS THAT CARE ABOUT THEIR CHILDRENS HEALTH.. WE WILL CONTINUE TO GIVE OUR KIDS A HEALTHY DIET WITH CALCIUM....

ok do what u please. I feel sorry for your kid.
and the rest of you people who flock to doctors to help you, who do nothing but drug
u up to the highest extent and take care of their own agendas.. rather then helping u but u nod and say "ok doctor thanks for your help"

You are a pawn in a huge game that is making tons of money off you and your life.
Dairy products are an abomination.

you think calcium is really imporant? theres more than enough calcium in broccoli and other dark green vegetables  you have been influenced by advertisements ... milk is a product like any other product on this earth.. it is not REQUIRED. most of the earths population live without it quite healthily.

Time will be your teacher.. as the human race does an about face on these things in the future u will realize how you've been lied to.

How many years did you go to school to be a doctor? People are coming to this forum for a DOCTORS advice. You continue to feel "sorry" for our children because we listen to professionals... and we listen to ourselves.. instead of someone that is trying to make us care about their crazy views. its FINE however why would someone believe YOU? post again if you want.. but its pathetic and i'm not ansewring you back.
