    I had that problem with my older 3 kids and added Chocolate milk mix to get them to drink it. The ped said it was ok.

    Options for milk:
    1) add a bit of vanilla (just a few drops)
    2) add choclate, carmel or strawberry syrup
    3)mix half and half with yogurt(my girls favorite)
    4) ovaltine


    I haven't heard of rescourse and can't find out anything on the web. Do they have a website?

    I tried soymilk and they didn't spit that out, but they wouldn't drink much of it plain. I started very slowly mixing it with EBM over the course of several weeks. Now they will drink plain soymilk. I figure soon I'll reverse that process with adding cow's milk to the soy.

    Have you ever tasted breastmilk? I don't blame them for not wanting to switch to cow's milk! :)
