@Katrina no milk at all?
Its a hassle but like me you might have no choice. Buy different sippy cups until you find the one he loves. I bought so many expensive sippy cups my son refused. He absolutely loved the parents choice sippy cups. The ones that are like $2 at walmart🤣🤣 my daughers like the tommie tippies or however they are spelled. Not the straw ones but the ones with the firm tips.
@sydney no milk at all as a drink. They don’t need it as a drink, they get plenty dairy from other sources :)
@Katrina where do they get their dairy from? i don’t want to give my baby cows milk just because i feel like it’s not meant for us? but his pediatrician wants me to give him cows milk instead of breast milk or i guess in addition to breast milk
@sydney usually cheese, yoghurt and then milk in cereal. I’m pretty sure 3 portions a day is all they need but I might be wrong!
@sydney the ped may be going on older advice. Kids can get a lot of nutrients they need in one place from cow's milk, so it's super convenient, and it used to be highly recommended. But if you make sure to feed them lots of calcium-rich foods, and foods with vitamins A&D, or even dairy from other sources like yogurt and cheese, they can do just fine without it. 70% of the world is lactose intolerant anyway. My public health nurse said 4 cups of milk a day but I'm taking it with a grain of salt. 🤷 We do maybe a cup a day but with cheese, yogurt, and calcium-rich veggies mixed in. We do our milk in the form of smoothies since she won't really take it on it's own.
Drinking milk is easy and available and nutrients are in there along with ton of sugar in cow milk.. breast milk is better. My girl is still drinking in bottle which is bad... she almost 3 months over, but its goats milk. She has bad eczema so I'm not sure how to entice her to get her calcium and get off boob milk. Drinking milk, is soooooooothing for them, they want to be soothed by it and breast milk makes babies drowsy naturally.. it's either parents rocking babies till they quit , and parents exhausted from screaming babies.. I'm going to have to find other ways... to feed her calcium. I tried silicone cups to drunk milk. They choke on it, sip forever or drip it all down their clothes, it's long process and some quit after few sips of trying drink milk, like mine, it's lot work
If he won’t drink milk try giving cereal or something instead (assuming this is bedtime?) Neither of my 2 would drink milk out of anything other than a bottle so they just stopped drinking milk.
