my dd is 2 and has only had breastmilk. She is allergic to cows milk, so I am wanting her to start drinking soy or rice milk since my milk is starting to dry up due to pregnancy. However she refuses to touch the stuff.She only wants juice and water. She can only have so much juice in a day and that only leaves water. I have found I can sneak small amounts of soy milk in with her juice everyday. Should I just keep adding more until she gets used to the taste or is there a better way to offer it to her?

Is there a reason you want her to have milk? My almost 3 year old has never drank soy, cow's, almond, rice, etc. milk. She drinks water and the very occasional juice, just like we do.

She might like the milk with cold cereal or mixed into oatmeal or hot cereal. Or she might like soy yogurt.

Are you concerned about getting enough fluids in her? If she is drinking plenty of water then you could get the calcium into her diet thru her food.

My ds would not drink "cow's" milk at all(he is now 14 months) He did like the yogurt/banana juice, so I started mixing a banana in with his milk!! He LOVES it and will now drink milk!!
