Our wee girl is 14 months now and drinks 3 (6 oz) bottles of milk per day. She drinks water from a sippy cup without problem for a long time and she is a really good eater. She eats cereal, meats, veggies, pasta, rice, yogurt, cheese ...What I'm saying is she gets lots of nutrition from these foods.
We are trying to switch her from bottle to sippy cup for milk but she won't look at the sippy cup when it comes to milk. We have tried getting a very different looking cup for the milk so that she differentiate from the water cup but she won't drink milk from anyhting but her Avent bottle.
Do you have any recommendations for a good sippy cup to switch to that might aid acceptance. My feeling is that the no-spill devices makes it too much of an effort to drink milk from the sippy cup but without it the milk goes everywhere if she turns the bottle upside down ?
Bearing in mind that she is doing so well eating a good variety of foods how much milk does she need to be drinking ?
You have been a great help to us in the past so I hope you can provide some insight to us on this issue.
