as we know in the past i have had problems getting rhiannon to drink her formula...and now that we know its was the lactose...she has been on peptic jnr.
but now she has only had maybe 400mls of milk in the 4 days.. she is eating plenty...drinking loads of water...eating lots of fruit and veges...but just doesnt want her milk..doesnt matter if its warm, cold or in a bottle or cup..she just wont drink it. and since shes not having yoghurt at this stage..what can i give her to increase her calcium intake ------------- http://lilypie.com">

We supplemented Maya's calcium with LifeStream calcium powder, you add 1/4 teaspoon to one of her bottles/cereal or any other liquid and it dissolves. It's reasonably expensive, around $30 from memory, but they only need 1/4-1/2 a teaspoon a day so one container lasts months and months. -------------  Maya Grace (28/02/03)

Could you maybe use the formula to make custard or semolina, use it to mash potatoes, add it to cereal??? ------------- http://lilypie.com">  http://lilypie.com">

I took Erin to the GP for pretty much the same thing, and she said as long as she is drinking water occasionally, there are still plenty of wet and dirty nappies, that some babies just don't want it - and there's not a lot to be done ! That said, Erin looooves her yoghurt, and probably goes through at least half a cup a day, so I'm not worried about calcium. Good luck Kaz ! ------------- Jacquie - Mama to Erin, 13.07.06 - Chief Cat Chaser & Marmite Sammie Eater

I concur with Nic01, if you can't get it in from a bottle then make it into a custard. Just use custard powder and some made up formula and pop it in the microwave. When I was offered Neocate they also recommended some cookbook recipes (which I never got LOL) that you can use like baking etc.
I am actually going through something similar myself Kazzle, it is awfully hard to watch them stop drinking. Especially your little one as she has had troublems in the past. I think if you are overly anxious about it at all then contact the people who put you on the pepti jr. or even the dietician who is below that person then you will be on the right track. Best-a-luck! ------------- DD1 May 2006 DD2 March 2011 DD3 August 2012 |

my son gave up milk when he ws 11 months and daughter gave up at 13. although both would drink some out of a sipper cup. Have you tried giving it in a sipper cup? ------------- Ann

Kazzle, my Hannah wasn't much into milk at 1yr either. But she was otherwise eating a lot of variety like Rhiannon, and lots of water too (was January for her). I gave up on the milk for a little while because I was concerned it would go off b/c of sitting around so much lol. A couple of months later I introduced milo (with cow's milk, can you make milo with formula???) and cheese and crackers. Never had an issue with her weight etc over that time. See if giving it a short break will do the trick. It sounds like she is ready for full bottle weaning. ------------- |

thanks guys.
I have to say tht i agree with with busymum and tht rhiannon is ready for full bottle weaning...is drinking lots of water...but wont take milk no matter how i give it too her. she had no milk at all today...so i will increase her vege intake a little...and give her a little more cheese. but i wont offer her milk for a couple of days and see what happens ------------- http://lilypie.com">
