Is your child eating well? if yes then perhaps she doesn't need that much milk. Calcium can be compensated from other sources such as cheese. If you insists she drinks milk, you have to be patient with her and make her understand that other children in other less developing countries do not have milk to drink. Milk will make her stronger so that she can go out to play longer. I will coax her and play with her to have her milk. My son, at one stage, rejected milk and i was pulling my hair till I told him that milk can make him strong like his favourite animal, elephant. Since then, no pblm drinking.

haha! that's a good one. she's quite picky on food recently also, but in school (childcare) according to the teachers she has no problem drinking milk. she likes eating cheese also. so guess it's OK. . anyhow, thanks for the suggestions!
