Roksana if you have no thread of an miscarriage while pregnant I really wont worry so much about this. Most kids actually wean themselves once mommy is about 3 months pregnant as they dont like the milk so much anymore. (the texture changes.)
Still try but dont worry so much about it. And just keep on offering milk with goodies in it for her. Remember most toddlers need to taste and see something about 16 times before they are even willing to give it a go sometimes. Have you tried her on milk lollies perhaps? Just freeze milk in those container things which you use to make cooldrink lollies with.
and put a bit of sprinkles on the bottom or even perhaps a tiny bit of chocolate. Hopefully you can fool her that way.

This is probably something you've already done - but have you tried warming the milk? Matthew hates milk in a bottle/cup if it's cold, but if I warm it up he gulps it down.

aaah hugs. It is freaking frustrating.
I ended up putting McKayla in a time out(was my time-out as well.) last night for not even eating one bite. Got her out and she scoulded me out then gave me a hug.
Refused it again and wanted boob. Put my food down and forced a mouthfull in her mouth. Which she spit out. Then I made her eat it and then she ate happily.
I literally cried last night and hubby told me it is fine. I think the responses of other people over my child is starting to freak me out and playing an influence on my decisions here.
so now going to tell everyone to F off about it.

Oh Shirena...please stop!! Stop thinking that some thing is wrong with her! she looks fine to me as she is slightly smaller than Zaara and she is 1 month younger!! so she looks fine! and GOD she is soooo active....so that explains it!! Come on....what does your gut tell you? You are her Mum and you would know if some thing was wrong with her!!
So stop caring what people are saying (unless ofcorse its all about how gorgeous she is!!  ).
I know its frustrating when they refuse to eat and yes I felt like slapping her (Which for the record I did not)....but then I gave her a small piece of Cheesy bread and first she refused and then ate it! I phoned her day care and they said that she refused morning tea but now is sitting down and chowing on fruit!! So when they are hungry they will eat!!

Thanks. I am going to relax about it. My gut feeling is she is fine. They use to call me Bleek gesiggie in SA. That is for someone will a really pale face and my Dad said I had transparent skin as well.
Was just thinking. McKayla loves a fruit smoothie. Maybe try Zara on that? Worth a try.
Maybe we should get these two kids of ours on a picnic together. McKayla can tell Zara off for not eating and drinking her milk. And Zara can tell McKayla off for refusing food these days. 
I just hope I keep my sanity for the teenage years.

OK I didn't read all the posts properly as I am meant to be doing school work but just wanted to say that when I weaned Hannah she refused toddler milk/formula/cow's milk/goat's milk/soy milk... every freaking type of milk there is.
Then one day she decided to drink it and has been ever since.
I'd not worry about it too much... she either will or won't - I don't think it's life threatening

Don't even get me started 
Favourite phrase is "No! My do it!" (Which means "Back off Mum, I'm doing it by myself") I think that is common to all 2 year olds... she just seems to have the menace behind the voice that others might not.

Oh thats some thing tolook forward too...
Zaara tell every one off now...with NO NO...NOOOOO
And that day she was talking to her teddy...sit....sit...sit (I was wondering what she was saying)...and then I hear....sit down!! I was like what???  the teddy kept slipping down out leather sofa.
And yesterday she was in the kitchen with me...and closing all the drawers because her dad forgot to close them (very common)...so she closed all of them ...by saying close...bang!!!....close...bang!!......
Eeekkk she is starting to talk!!
