If your lo doesn't drink enough milk (or eat enough calcium foods), do you offer milk all day? Or still offer water/juice, etc... and stick to offering milk during meals?
Luckily John likes most dairy foods. I offer him lots of things throughout the day - cheese, yogurt, cottage, milk, smoothies....whatever I think he will take. He is old enough to tell me what he wants.
I can't remember how old Xavier is, but I'm guessing he will fall into the toddler range on the food pyramid guidelines. He only needs 4 servings from the dairy group, which is the equivilent of 2 cups of milk (16 oz). 1 serving of dairy for him would be 1/4 cup milk, yogurt, or abour 1/2 oz cheese. When I make a smoothie I use 1/2 c. yogurt and 1/4 cup of milk, so he is really getting 3 servings there.
If you are afraid he is rejecting all liquids, you can try icies, like Laura's mom suggested, or my favorite -- popsicles made from diluted juice (I use carrot and apple so I sneak a veggie in too.) I freeze juice in ice trays anduse the cubes in cups of water. John likes watching the ice and it flavors his water some. Juicy fruits like grapes and watermelon are good sources of fluids. And maybe soups. And I apoligize if I am making suggestings that are not apprpriate for his age yet.
