Does your LO like it? Hate it? Tolerates it?

I can't get Veronika to drink plain white milk Natasha LOVES it, but Veronika just won't. Chocolate milk - sure. Even with just a drop of chocolate syrup - sure. After it had cereal soaked in it - sure. Warm with honey - YES, PLEASE. Plain white milk - no, yucky.

she likes yogurts and cheese so I'm not worried, I just wish I could give her a glass of plain white milk with her breakfast in the mornings like her sister gets.

Keller won't drink regular milk (though I think he will sometimes at school, little stinker). I put a tiny bit of chocolate in it and call it a day. The kid needs calories, like a lot of them...so meh. Isla likes both regular white milk and chocolate. He also likes yogurt smoothies.

Danny is a milk guzzler, but Eric is the same way. I will go ahead and sprinkle just a tiny bit of chocolate powder into it, and usually buy ovaltine since it's healthier than plain chocolate milk. Honestly though, the kid loves yogurt, gogurt, and cheese, plus we recently found the refrigerated granola bars with milk in them that he really likes, so I let him drink juice and water and don't push the milk.

Yeah, Veronika wants juice & chocolate milk with every meal and it's just.. plain milk would be so much better but oh well.

Leah LOVES milk, always has. Funny enough, she won't even drink chocolate milk. It's gotta be white. Silly kid.

I'd say if chocolate milk (or strawberry milk - I love that stuff) gets kids drinking milk at all, then that's good. And since Veronika eats other dairy products, she's getting a good intake.

LOL Amanda, Danny is the same way - he refuses to drink flavored milk, it's gotta be plain white! He also refuses to drink skim... His teachers were concerned for a while because they couldn't get him to drink milk, until I assured them that he drinks PLENTY at home. But they serve skim, and I do 1%. Apparently, that's enough of a difference for him to care.

Keeley can take it or leave it, i give it to her, sometimes when i think she doesn't need any more juice she has a choice of water or milk she chooses milk has a few drinks but then switches to water. At school thou they get little cartons of milk at break times and i know she drinks all of that.

Brennan and Jamie both love milk (white and chocolate). They loved whole milk when they were drinking that and didn't comment about any taste differences once we switched them to skim at 2 years.

Carrie loves it. We're big milk drinkers here...even dh and I drink quite a bit.

Katy is the only one who is not a fan. She wants all juice, which of course I won't give her. Can we say daily tantrum? I'm hoping it's a phase that will pass soon.

I cannot keep Elizabeth away from milk. She'd drink a gallon a day if I'd let her!! I always joke I need to buy a cow! I've had to limit her milk tho because it fills her up then she won't eat.

Addy drinks white milk fairly well. She takes forever to drink anything. She has only recently been allowed to try chocolate milk though, and she would pick that if we offered. That girl is a sweets fanatic.

Sofia LOVES it. Maya, not so much. The ped said to give her yogurt, which she usually likes, so not too worried. It would be easier if she would just drink it though!
