It takes some babies longer to get used to Homo milk than others. At this age she should still be getting breastmilk as her main source of nutrition and the homo milk should be more for exposure so that after a year she'll be willing to take the recommended 16oz/day that she needs. I would keep letting her sip and as she gets used to it she'll probably take more. IF she is still not taking much after a year old I would look at offering baby yogurt (the kind made from whole milk that has vitamin D added). Cheese is also good for calcium but doesn't usually have vitamin D added like whole milk.
