hi All

I am worried as adi is nt drinking milk from sippy cup, i tried many ways he is very adament,juice and water he takes through sipper but milk no way..any clues..i tried bottle with sipper nipple also no use...and also he drinks twice milk in bottle in day time, twice in the night..he is 14 months..otherwise he is doing fine. I have nt started cows milk for him manju replied. Thanks to all I will try cows milk Hetal replied. hey, please start cows milk for adi..its high time.formula or ne other milk is not adequate nutrient for him..
did you try nuby or second natures ? this brand often works for many kids..also gerber valve system is a good one.
if your baby is not comfortable in sippy cups, go for the next step,,straw cup or direct glass..nothing wrong if you are one of those lucky moms who dont have to wash your baby sippers...also cows milk is abit heavy, so he will not ask it that often...and like sheetal said, he may accept cows milk when introduced directly in sippy..
make the bottle disappear out of his sight and whenever he asks for it,,show him there is no bottle..somtimes when they dont see it at all on the kitchen counter,, they forget about it and accept whatever is given. that worked for nirja pretty well..also, when hunger strikes, some kids take watever given..a couple times he may resist or cry for bottle, but dont give up,,he is 14months,and more you giveup, now he will get more attached to bottle..so upto you to judge that...
dipping the tip of the sippy spout gives them a hint that there is milk in there,,,,give him empty bottle and fill sippy with milk,,,and let him decide what he wants to drink : air or milk :)..sometimes that works..also, filling 25% of serving wth bottle and then rest 75% with sippy works..when he is over drinking 25%,as soon as you see it getting empty, release his fist/hold of bottle and remove the bottle and slowly replace sippy spount,,keep the liquid flow abit high than setting,,so tht it becomes easy for him to drink..,sometimes that works,,mostly when baby has that habit to take bottle just before sleep or he is not much interested in messing up with you,,.
for valve,,see what setting your baby likes..and always keep sippy cup as the first option,offer that first and let it be a toy all the time before his eyes and keep bottles out of sight,,,,see if that works! some kids leave the old habits when new ones keep hitting them again and again..
take care, hp it works out smooth..
Smile replied. Hi there,
As sheetal said why don't you try giving him cow's milk. My son doesn't drink milk in sipper, but previously he refused to take even formula in bottle. After I started giving him cow's milk he likes to drink, but I need to start giving him milk in sipper. Let me know if cow's milk worked with your son. good luck. Sheetal replied. Hi Manju,

why don't you start cow's milk in a sippy cup. He mite think its different milk and drink it.

Regards,
Sheetal
