Hi Samantha! I understand your concern, however there are other ways to get your girl some calcium (which is the most important part milk) or to get her to accept some milk. Can your girl tolerate any lactose at all, through for example cheese or ice cream? Or could she be interested in eating lactose free yogurt? Maybe you could tempt her by making a smoothy and season the milk with some strawberrys and a tiny bit of cocoa powder? Use your imagination! You could also give her some calcium-fortified orange juice or broccoli. Since your girl is now one year old, you can also give her collard greens, which are very high in calcium. So you see, if you experiment a bit, I'm sure you can find ways to help your daughter get her calcium even if she refuses regular milk. Good luck! /Paula

Both of my boys have been Lactose Intolerant since birth. They drink Lactaid whole milk with Calcium. Usually children with a lactose intolerance can digest other forms of calcium such as yogurt, tuna, broccoli, pinto beans and when they are a bit older oranges. Cheese and ice cream have a high content of lactose like milk does so I substitute with Lactaid cheese and lactose free ice cream (Breyers). Sometimes it is really a process of elimination and it takes a few days to see how they react to specific foods. Good Luck.

Try making strawberry flavored or chocolate flavored lactose free milk.. Yes, there's going to be sugar in there but if thats the only way shes going to drink milk, so be it! Also, pediasure might be something you might want to try.
