Bella's 13 1/2 months old now & still breastfed twice a day. I want to drop the morning feed, but she absolutely flat out refuses to drink any milk from a cup. Water's no problem, but if she sees me put milk in there she won't even try & drink anything. If she doesn't see what's in there, she'll take a mouthful & then just screw up her face & not have any more. I've tried EBM, 3 different types of toddler milk & cow's milk. I've tried giving it to her both warm & cold. She has quite a bit of milk with her cereal & will eat cheese & yoghurt, so would you just not worry about that morning drink or should I keep persevering?? I never had this problem with Matt - he loved having milk in a cup & still has a cup every morning!! ------------- http://lilypie.com">  http://lilypie.com">

| If it is the cup that she usually has water in that might be the problem. Dominic, and this is common to a lot of babies, won't drink anything but milk out of his milk cup and won't drink milk out of cups that he has water in. |

Michaela flatly refused to drink milk from a cup until I started drinking it every afternoon, then she decided she wanted a cup of milk every afternoon too. -------------

Cooper is the same, won't drink milk from his Nuk cup, but will drink apple juice or water quite happily. Soooo I got him a Nuby bottle with a sippy teat, and slowly but surely he's starting to drink from it. I would give it up for awhile and try again, or try a different cup.

Never had a prob with Jake he drinks whatever out of whatever but he'd been on the bottle for awhile. Might be coz she doesn't wana give up the boob  they're clever - she might realise that taking a cup means no more mummy. Hope it sorts itself out!-------------

| Jack hasn't had a bottle or cup of milk since 13 months - he flat out refuses to drink milk by itself these days. I have been told by his paediatrician not to worry as long as he's getting his calcium/dairy intake everyday, it doesn't matter if it comes from milk, cheese, yoghurt etc. So my boy just has milk on cereal, a tub of yoghurt and cheese everyday to make sure he has enough. |

Thanks guys. I tried her with a different cup this morning, but she still wasn't interested. She gets loads of dairy from other sources though, so I think I just won't stress about it. ------------- http://lilypie.com"> http://lilypie.com">
