Does Your Child Got Milk?
GOT MILK? KIDS SHORT ON CALCIUM
Doctors should evaluate children for the amount of calcium they get and encourage them to exercise to help prevent an epidemic of broken bones later in life, the American Academy of Pediatrics advises.

Does Your Child Got Milk? (Hover)
My oldest will not drink milk, but he loves cheese, so he gets his calcium. My two youngest absolutely adore milk, to the point that its expensive to keep up with their drinking habits. Both are under four though, so its good for them to drink allot of it while their bones are growing. Sometimes, to get my oldest to drink milk, I make chocolate milk with Ovaltine. Its not only chocolate, it is fortified with lots of vitamins and minerals. With the cheese, it makes up for the calcium he would get drinking milk all the time.
My son is a milk freak! He loves drinking milk, and also has acquired a taste for water, which is good. He doesn't like juice, and really doesn't care for soda pop either. I am glad he has developed the taste for milk because I'm not a milk drinker myself.
I do not know how to get my son to drink more milk, he only drinks it ocassionally with his cereal or when I make oats, otherwise he hates it. Cheese he will only eat it if it is melted otherwise he does not like it either, I do not think he is lactose intolerant but he just do not like them, any ideas on how to make his calcium intake go higher?
I myself am milk intolerant, not lactose intolerant. The smell of milk makes me sick, I like cheeses ice cream and all other dairy products but I just cannot drink milk. Maybe its some psychological thing. I used to be able to drink milk, but now I can't stand it.
Further knowledge required about the differences between milk proteins
Recent years have witnessed significant debates on proteins in milk, in particular the differences between A1 and A2 proteins. However, there is still no scientific evidence to determine whether milk with one protein type is healthier than the other. Ref. Source 7p.
