My littlest twin who will be seven soon is starting to not drink milk. She will drink a few sips but then will start to gag. This is all new. She's a picky eater as it is. She loves healthy things. She is not big on pasta's or cheese. How else can I get calcium into her? | ||

When I was younger I was only able to drink goats milk. I have somewhere between an allergy and lactose intolerance. Might be something to look into with a Dr. if its other than she simply doesnt like it | ||

I heard something about there being a lot of calcium in orange juice.

Yes, and you can actually purchase OJ that has added calcium.

I also buy calcium enriched butter, but that's not much unless she is a butter fiend.

Oh yeah, that's right. I forgot you could buy it with the added calcium. That must have been what I was thinking. Maybe you could get some strawberry or chocolate quick? Or ovaltine or something for more flavor so she'll like it? I know that adds sugar, I guess I'm just looking for a way to get her to drink the milk (since it seems like you want her to). Or I guess...there's always vitamins? Like Flintstones vitamins?

I was told the vitamins were not enough that she has to drink one cup of dairy a day. I wonder if I put some of my fat free milk in the strawberry milk if she'll drink it that way. She doesn't like the thick texture I think. | ||

Yeah, I didn't think of that. Make your own with natural stuff that you can just smoosh or squeeze in there! Even better!
