Instead of the ...Welcome to the toddler food wars!! <BR/><BR/>Instead of the sippy cup, try a straw cup (Munchkin makes them with Sponge Bob and Dora and Diego on them) or just a plain cup with a straw. She has to learn the skill of drinking from a straw anyway and the novelty may be interesting to her, especially if she sees you drinking from a straw too. We did not use sippy cups at all with our boys. In fact, John flat refused bottles. He went straight from breast to straws and regular cups.<BR/><BR/>In the end, however, Emmy will take milk from what ever container you elect to use. You are the mommy and you can out wait her on this issue. Besides so long as she is drinking water, she is fine. Be happy she likes water. I have some friends whose son, now age 5, still refuses to drink plain water.J A Hynekhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09556042987904910443noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3691146313334541416.post-89054186420530302932008-10-09T23:43:00.000-05:002008-10-09T23:43:00.000-05:00haha. it's so fun to read this knowing exactly wh...haha. it's so fun to read this knowing exactly what an 11-1/2 month old is like. they are so much fun but so stubborn. mackenzie is a HANDFUL but i am not i'd have it any other way!!! i can't believe our girls are about to be 1!Steph Vhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14384442832679645949noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3691146313334541416.post-47298525322935031662008-10-08T10:51:00.000-05:002008-10-08T10:51:00.000-05:00ah yes, the pretend to drink and apit out routine....ah yes, the pretend to drink and apit out routine...Ry's a fan of those tactics as well. Sometimes she just opens her mouth and lets it all run out down her chin into her neck rolls, but other times she forcefully spits it out...at me. Sister, I think we're going to be in for it when our girls are teenagers.Erinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06057179085246924043noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3691146313334541416.post-11917325947622032022008-10-07T22:59:00.000-05:002008-10-07T22:59:00.000-05:00OMG, she is hillarious.

Usually I can be creative. But I am perplexed.

Kelly Watson had the some trouble with Brady- you might want to email her to ask her what she did. I think she made had to go cold-turkey for all times and in a few days he started accepting milk in a sippy (he would with water, but not the milk).

She's a smart one!bethanyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14726833244459808309noreply@blogger.com
