She doesn't want her morning milk or her night milk at all for the last two days. She wants juice, water, koolaid-no milk. Is this normal?

What can I do next?

Does the milk taste any different than normal? My son LOVES milk above anything else, but for a few days he went on a milk strike. Turns out it tasted funny, even though I couldn't smell a difference. You might want to check it first before worrying about her.

well, she wants the sweet stuff now.... ! would
be real careful about getting in that habit.
Sweets cravings begets sweet cravings.... it actually triggers something in the brain to crave it more.

My sons are going through a similar strike. I have a 5 & 6 year old. My 5 year old would drink glass upon glass of milk everyday. Suddenly it has started into a battle to get him to finish even one at mealtimes. They both seem to drink more if I make chocolate milk. I usually try for a couple swallows of regular milk then I will give them the chocolate milk. I only use a small scoop of the chocolate and it barely makes chocolate milk but they think it is better than regular milk. I still think chocolate milk is better than koolaid or juice... Seems like it is normal and hopefully it will be short-term! Good luck!

I don't know, but my 4 year old has also decided that now he does not drink milk. He says he doesn't like it, even though it has "worked for him" for the past 4 years. Good luck!
