  hi!! soooo i finally took my daughter off her bottle at 20 months, i know i know i did it late BUT i did it!! hahaha shes been without a bottle for 3 days now.. and i cant get her to drink milk idk what to do i tried giving it to her in ALL her sippy cups. i dont want to give her chocolate milks cuz i think it will be harder for her to go back to JUST milk! what can i do??

do you have this problem??

Hello Longoria11, Maybe try giving her the milk in a regular cup. I find that most kids will drink watever your drinking. So maybe she will see you drinking and want it.

i've tried that regular cups sippy cups, even water bottles (she LOVES drinking out of water bottles) and nothing! she just keeps it in her mouth then after a while spits it out...

try and make her think that its your drink and she cant have it... reverse psych. drink it each nite and she may want it cause its yours and she cant have it. and maybe eventually it wont be an issue when you put it in her own cup.  hope this works.

i agree with everyone else.  The copy cat thing works with kids.  I did it with my son.  I would take a sippy cup and pretend to drink out of it and they would copy what I did.  Also I would put a sprinkle of sugar on their tongue then put a sprinkle of "sugar" in their cup and they would just suck it down.  Eventually they gave up all of that and just started to take their cups without giving me a hard time.

i mixed 3/4 white milk with the remainder 1/4 chocolate and i let my child see me do this but always hold cup above ther head so they cant see how much of each . then as time goes by taper off chocolate ,but still do the above the head thing it works everytime with mine .. its not wat is actually in it so much as what they think is in it LOL
