My toddler won't drink milk

My little girl is 13 months old. I have tried everything to get her to switch from breastmilk to cow's milk. We have heated it, done 1/2 my milk, 1/2 her milk, added light Karo syrup, put it in a bottle, and put it in a sippy. Nothikng seems to do any good. I am currently going to wait a week or so and try again, hoping that this is just a phase.

My 3 year old didn't like whole milk (also nursed her) at first either. What worked for her were banana milk shakes. I also did chocolate milk, and put milk anywhere I could like baked potatoes, eggs, gave her cheese etc. My pedi thought I had the bases covered regarding the quantity of milk she was taking daily.  If you'd like the milk shake recipe, let me know.  Hope this helps!

A few friends of mine had the same problems and were given the same advice by their Health Nurse - to start phasing the breast milk out all together as long as they are getting their calcium needs from other sources.  Once the breast milk was completely out of their diet the kids started to accept normal cows milk.  Hope this helps.

Does she get any reactions to milk? Maybe try lactose or rice milk? Milo worked for me, about a teaspoon and a half, it was a hit.
