There are lots of ways you can add calcium to your child's diet by adding some shredded cheese to certain dishes and soups or making their oatmeal with milk instead of water. Luckily, my children love their milk--or milky as is is known by my little ones. I buy somewhere between 3-4 gallons a week, sometimes more. I only flavor their milk as a special treat. My husband on the otherhand likes a little milk with his chocolate syrup!
