(I stopped using bottles at 8 months.) I also give him a yogurt every day and enfimil vitamin drops to make up the difference.

I mixed bananna stage 1 baby food with milk to get mine to wean from breast to bottle at 14 months. At almost 3, he still will not drink plain milk, it is flavored with Strawberry syrup. Also, try calcium fortified flavored water and up cheese intake or yogurt. Also my kids LOVE the drinkable yogurt. Just don't worry about it. Oh, and my 5 year old has NEVER even tried soda and eats every vegetable, so don't worry about setting her up for bad habits.

We bought flavored pediasure (generic brand) pediasure will give her the nutrients she needs :) And in a healthier way then choclate milk :) They make vanilla, strawberry and chocolate :)
