Doesn't want milk in the sippy - NOW she won't even drink it from the bottle - HELP!

I've been trying to transistion DD to a sippy cup with milk - its been alittle over 2 full days and she refuses to drink milk from it. She loves her juice and drinks lots of water but refuses the milk in the sippy to no end! She is 16 months and I thought I would give it a try.

ONLY problem now is that she hasn't drank any milk for 2 days and even refuses it in the bottle - What the heck??
I feel so bad now - this isn't what I intended to happen - i still want her to have her milk. I;ve been giving her yogurt, cheese and she is eating very well with lots of wet diapers but hasn't had milk in over 2 days.

Do you think she will budge? What should I do?

my pediatrician said as long as they are getting some kind of dairy in their diet (yogurt, cheese) they dont need milk.

DS drinks maybe 4 cups of milk a week and its about 4oz or less.

have you tried chocolate syrup? that was the only way DS drinks it.

he is 19 months old.

My DS did the same- refused to drink milk from his sippy ( even now and hes 3.5 !)....He "sometimes" would drink it from a straw cup, and then he started to drink some from a regular cup...We even tried ovaltine to spruce it up Chat Icon ...My ped. said the same, as long as dairy is getting into him in other forms, he'd be okay- I know, its hard to imagine them going from drinking so many oz. to nothing, but its seems to happen a lot from what I've told during the bottle/sippy transition ..Good Luck Chat Icon
