Try introducing your toddler to Nestle's Quick chocolate milk or even Nestle's Quick Strawberry milk. Children love that stuff. And it's a great source of calcium for them. Best of Luck to you and your baby!

If they dont like it, try making them chocolate, strawberry, or banana milk. You could also make them a smoothie with extra milk, and pretty much any fruit in it. Also, try to incorporate milk into their normal foods more. When I was about 5, I decided the only milk i would drink was chocolate milk, and I turned out okay. You can buy 1% chocolate milk easily at the grocery store, and it actually has less fat than whole milk.

I found some good answers on the Milk campaign site. I personally went through this issue with my son - but lots of things happen at two! What worked for me: not fighting with him, making it cool by purchasing new cool cups, allowing him to taste test (compare to soy milks). After a few weeks (it was really a control issue) he started on milk again. In the meantime, I made sure he was getting enough calcium via yogurt, broccoli, cheeses and other rich calcium sources. Good luck!

I don't drink milk. Drinking an animals breast milk is gross (IMHO). I get calcium from cheese. If you feel your child must drink milk, try organic milk. Your child might get an upset stomach from milk if he or she is lactose intolerant. If the kid puts 2 and 2 together "everytime I drink the white stuff my stomach hurts" or something like that, that may be one reason (s)he is not drinking it.
Talk to his or her doctor. Milk is not the only drink out there and water is really good for humans.

Stop giving you toddler so many other options. Juice in particular isnt that great for kids, but parents let them overload on it. Just offer him milk. When he turns it down, but is thirsty later, offer him milk. He'll start back up again soon enough.

you can always try and get your toddler to drink milk by making smoothies or getting them to add flavoring to the milk? Good luck

Use a flavoring because lets face it as long as they are still getting their milk who cares if it has chocolate or strawberry syrup in it? You can also use the instant breakfast drink mixes which are good for you little one.

don't give him any juice. offer him water or milk. and try adding some strawberry or chocolate to it. my son did this but he stopped because he had a stomache virus and he threw it up. he hated milk for like 2 weeks and then he started drinking it again.

Maybe try some flavored yogurt, or those mozzerella cheese strings sticks for more calcium. You might also try to buy some chocolate breakfast mixes and add them to the milk, they have vitamins and minerals.

So, do you mean cow milk? If that is what your child quit drinking I would encourage you to just let it go. Cow milk (or any other animal like goat, horse, llama, yak, etc.) is not good for humans. Your child probably quit because she/he doesn't like it and instinctively knows it isn't good for her/him.
If your child has quit drinking breast milk, well it's probably time for that too.
I would just encourage the little one to drink water and make sure she/he gets a well balanced diet.
