  I love my job, it gives me a break from my kids!

IMO, as long as she's getting dairy it shouldn't be a problem. Is she eating yogurt? What is she drinking in her cereal?

I only give my kids 2 choices when it comes to drinks: water or milk. We don't have juice in the house. If I'm drinking soda my kid will ask for a sip, but I tell her it's a Mommy drink (just like wine LOL).

  Life is crazy but wonderful.

sounds like a phase. My son always liked his cereal dry, he always like to eat it like a finger food. He just recently decided he wanted milk in it. That is funny, my son is just the opposite, now he cries if I forget to put milk in his cereal because for 4 years he wouldn't touch it with milk.

As long as she gets milk in any form its fine according to my Family Doctor. Actually when I was pregnant I had the same problem. So the doctor suggested me to have more yogurt
or icecream or some flavored milk.

I personally do not feel milk is a neccesity. We are the only animal that drinks another animals milk besides our own kind. I believe in breast milk but after that it isn't needed. That said I do give my kids soy milk with their dinner but other wise like Sticky we just offer water. They are allowed a small glass of juice with their breakfast and that is that. Once you open that door it is so hard to close. I wouldn't worry about the milk strike though. Just make sure she is eating well and she will be fine.

DD does have a very healthy diet and all organic to the best of our ability. I just find it so weird that all of a sudden it's like "NO MILK". I just hope she wasn't influenced somehow on this matter. That is my concern. She is at that absorption of everything age. Mommy and Daddy have to watch everything they say and do. She forces us to be good. She likes Soy Milk still so maybe we'll keep trying that instead of cows milk.

you know what's crazy is I noticed my dd being influenced by her peers or maybe it's just a stage where she's not interested in trying things or if something looks "yucky" she turns her nose up ...i'm sure they'll both grow out of it.
