My daughter will be a year old in a week and i have tried to switch her to Vit. D milk and she hates it! This little girl will only drink water and formula! Any ideas moms?

Have you tried the Next Step Formula? I have not used it much, so I cannot give you much advice, but the thought just crossed my mind. Maybe that would be a nice "in between"???

Hi, Is the formula milk-based? It can be more difficult to introduce whole milk if your child wasn't drinking a milk-based formula and/or hasn't eaten other milk products like yogurts and cheese. If you haven't given her milk products like yogurt, etc. you might want to try that first. You can try the half and half approach where you start by diluting the breastmilk or formula with a little bit of milk, then slowly (every 1-2 days you increase the amount) add more and more milk until you no longer need to mix it (add 1 oz milk to start and then increase). Hope this helps.
