Any of you moms out there have any suggestions for getting baby to drink formula/milk?
Riley has been strictly breastfed up till this point, does not take a bottle, and i'm weaning her to a cup. Which is great, she's fine with a cup, but just will not drink milk or formula. I have tried all kinds of tricks, but she just has no time for it.
any advice from anyone??
she's 11 months this weekend!
so crazy how fast time flies!

I wouldn't stress about it. See if she will drink a smoothie. I think that's a great idea. She doesn't need much milk - only about 2 cups a day max. I honestly don't give Pearce that much. I would look online there is probably some information about healthy milk shakes and things like that. Some kids really hate milk. I do not drink milk. Great to see you guys this weekend!!!

my pediatrician is big on milk. i would try combining the two and gradually reducing the breast milk. maybe start with 75% breast milk and 25% formula or whole milk. after a few days or a week increase to 50/50. after that she will likely be fine with 100% milk or formula.
If you're still nursing, she's fine to not take milk until you wean her. Breastmilk really is best even after a year, as long as you are still nursing. Ella was the same way and when she realized how fun it was to drink from a cup, she was fine with drinking milk. Maybe try a special cup with Elmo or something she likes on it?
