@Sahar02

Madam calls herself “shezadi.”

She also doesn’t really put ANYTHING in her mouth. We really trained her too well. I’m trying to reverse that, and sometimes she feeds herself but sometimes she really seems hurt and disturbed that we won’t feed her. She will pull her hands away and shake her head no. But she will happily pick up and offer food to others.

She’s the same with the sippy cup, but is will happily drink from it herself sometimes.

Bint, don’t worry about the milk. Yes they should drink milk BUT as my doctor pointed out, they do not NEED it the way they used to once they are a year. So if she has a day or two of refusing to drink milk or not drinking as much when she’s a year, it’s okay (we had that a little bit when we transitioned to cow’s milk, but now she’s fine). I think the harder thing with the bottle is how easy it is to relax and drink (and be cuddled and held). They just don’t get that with the cups, so I am sure they will demand it. But they will adjust (we all did ).

So true.

Sahar your daughter is just too cute feeding food to others like that.

No wonder its about the cuddling & comfort.

She doesn’t take much solids either (another issue I am thinking of opening a thread on) & in 3 months that’s what she should be eating right. Just when I think I have learned all I can about being a mother. Another thing comes up.

These days no matter what she only wants me to feed her & I read a thread on babycenter & it turned out all the kids born in her month last year are drinking milk from sippy cups. It did got me thinking.

Also it’ll be nice to have a break here & there.
