Answers
- Have you tried soy or rice milks? We rotate those in with organic milk. You can get fortified brands that add the calcium so you aren't missing out on that.
- Humans were not ment to drink cows milk. The calf will stop drinking at a certain age. You have a smart daughter. The stuff stinks.
- As long as she is getting calcium from other sources, don't panic. No other mammals drink milk past weaning. she will be fine. Good Luck.
