My two still have their milk in bottles morning and night but they have been ill this week so I stopped the milk for a couple of days and gave water/squash instead out of their normal cups/sport bottle. They weren't too impressed at first but when I explained it could make them sick again they were fine. Now they are better I thought it would be a great opportunity to stop the baby bottles and give them their milk from cups instead. They haven't been overly bothered about their bottles going but neither of them will drink milk from anything other than a bottle. Hannah takes a sip and puts it down and Thomas says 'yuck' and wont drink it
They LOVED their bottles with milk but its as if it actually tastes different not in a bottle
they just put it down and ask for water.
Ideally I would like them to have the milk as they are fussy eaters at the best of times so like to know they get calcium etc from it but I'd rather not bring the bottles back. I feel a bit bad for Hannah as she is only 16 months and would like her to have her bottle a bit longer but I can't give one without the other
So what would you do? bring back the bottles to make sure they get their milk OR stick with no bottles and accept they want juice/water instead?
I've tried offering nesquik/milkshake too but they don't like it
