She loves her Juice but the milk doesn't go down as fast!!!

My girl is 14 months old and is doing fantastic. The only thing that I am having a hard time with is the fact that she is so slow with the milk but just guzzles the juice!! I can only give her juice every second or third day because if she gets ahold of that sippy cup the whole thing disappears!!! THAT'S OVER A CUP OF JUICE!!! Then we're changing diapers every half hour so I've really stopped with the juice and when she does get it she gets a few sips and then I take it away and give her some more later. Why isn't the milk the same?? Is there something I can do to make it that way? I'm not all that into using chocolate mix or strawberry mix in fact she's never had it, am I worrying about nothing? or is there something I should do.

I'd water it down. It doesn't sound like you're giving here too much, but maybe if it was diluted she'd like it less. Good luck.

It sounds like she likes the sweetness of the juice. I wouldnt worry to much about any of it if she still drinks milk let her. I have a daughter who refuses to drink milk never liked it from day one and now doesnt drink it at all. My other daughter would rather have milk then juice so it all depends on the kid. My daughter who doesnt like milk I just up her other milk products like cheese and yogurt. Good luck!

what i do is water down my kids juice and when they run out that's it there is no more after the juice is gone they can have water or milk their choice. however i came to find that my daughter likes a lower fat milk too. if you are that worried about the milk try different ones if that doesn't work get her some vitamins and try not to worry shes fine as long as she is hydrated and growing normally.

As long as she drinks milk I wouldn't worry about it! As long as she's staying hydrated and gaining weight normally I wouldn't worry.
