Not wanting to drink any milk

My son Grady who is almost 2 yrs old, will still not drink any milk. We have tried everything. The powder Nesquik, the chocolate syrup, plain milk, the Pediasures. We have tried it out of a sippy, out of our cups & out of the bottles (that you get with a kid's meal). He did drink some sips of it but then he keeps saying uh uh & turning his head when we try again. He'll eat yogurt sometimes, which I know (thank God he does) that he needs to eat it. But, I'm trying to get him to drink milk if anyone knows of any way to get him to drink it please let me know. Thanx

We make milkshakes/smoothies for my son sometimes. We just mix fruit with milk and put it in our Magic Bullet to mix. (You can add a small scoop of ice cream or yogurt to sweeten it a bit.) If your son likes fruit, maybe mixing it with milk into a smoothie might motivate him to drink more of it.

For my daughter, Larkin, will drink milk only if she's really thirsty so I just recently started adding a little strawberry syrup (maybe a teaspoon in a 9 oz sippy), so that it's not too sweet but just enough for her to actually like it. Now she looks forward to having her milk. Good Luck!
