How to get baby to drink milk from cup (any cup!) and not bottle???

As title says, my 1 year old will NOT drink milk from anything other than a bottle. Have tried all sorts of cups, she will not drink it most of the time won’t even take a sip! Drinks water fine from anything though. She just screams and screams!

Any tips???

If she’s having enough food and water, does she need milk?

My first child finally took to drinking milk rather than breastfeeding at 18 months as he was obsessed with babycinos because he always wanted my coffee cup

We are in a similar boat, he will drink milk through the day from a straw cup, the same style he drinks water from but he will always favour the water and will only ever have like 2-3 sips from the milk one at a time.

We still do a bottle first thing in the morning because I was worried he wasn’t getting enough milk through the day but now wondering how I will phase the bottles out if he doesn’t drink enough from a cup!

I’m still giving mine a bottle before bed and in the night or first thing in the morning. She doesn’t have any milk throughout the day now, she won’t drink it out of a cup either so I just make sure we give more snacks with cheese, yoghurt etc

Wdy think of this for a toddler to learn word construction?

I'm open to anything else to start teaching him to read and write. He's 3!

Vanilla extract

Has anyone used alcohol free vanilla in their babies formal to help them drink?
I’m 100% sure my baby refuses her bottles as she doesn’t like the taste of it!

Just anxious to try it, don’t want her to get used to it and then refuse bottles again after two weeks of using (correct me if I’m wrong but I’ve read you use it for 2 weeks max)

TIA 🙂

Car seat crying

My 6 month old PANICS the second I put him in a car seat and screams, cries, chokes and recently even projectile vomited on a 14 minute drive. It’s gotten to the point I don’t even bring him out unless it’s to a doctors appointment. I’m a stay at home mom with no family in my state and it has been very isolating. We’ve tried 3 different car seats with no improvement. Has anyone had a baby who hated the car seat? Any advice? This started at 3 months. I will add it does seem worse when he’s tired. He does cry on every trip though. He only contact naps and co sleeps so he reaches for me and will not sleep in the car seat.

Can someone pls help i keep making this post and nobody is responding

My boyfriend booked a trip for us to go to mexico for a week as my push present. I have severe anxiety leaving my 7 month old with my mom. I know she will be in good hands but she’s exclusively breast fed for the most part but accepts bottles just fine. i have all my pumping parts packed and will pump when baby normally eats but i don’t want baby to forget me or have latch issues when i return!! any mommas ever experience this?

Sex post C section

Hi ladies I’m 4 weeks 5 days postpartum and I had a C section. I’m not bleeding properly anymore just some brownish discharge stuff that starts on and off. I’d like to do the deed with my partner; is it okay to do so or shall I wait the full 6 weeks. I feel up for it but also worried because the advice is 6-8 weeks.

When did you circumcise your baby?
If you DID NOT or DO NOT have a circumcised son DO NOT comment this post is not for you!

Did you wait a certain amount of time or have it done immediately?
Again respectfully, this is only for the parents who choose to do so.
opinions about how not necessary it is will not be appropriate for this post. Thank you in advance. 🩵
