Remember the camping trip where we couldn’t survive without WARM milk well… we decided to take away the warm milk and the bottle. And it is not going well. Rose has stopped drinking milk. Instead she walks around all day looking for food. Milk is what an almost 2 year old needs – especially a shorty one that needs to grow as much as possible 🙂 She has 5 different types of sippies and she knows how to use a cup but she won’t drink milk out of any of them. She’ll take some sips of juice if she is really thirsty and she likes water the best.

Day 1 I was ruthless and she survived with no milk and no bottle and no nap. Day 2 by the time nap time came and an hour into it the crying hadn’t stopped I tried giving her a bottle with cold milk, which she chucked on the ground so I gave all the way in and used the beep beep and she slept soundly. Day 3 I again gave in for nap time. Day 4 she drank the bottle after it had sat out long enough to reach room temperature. And Day 5 – today she got another bottle slightly warmed for nap time. She only drank part of it though. She is going to the baby sitter tonight so I really needed her to nap.

I am torn because I want Rose to drink milk. My kids usually live on milk. Rose used to have 3 or 4 bottles in the morning and at least 6 in a day. No Bottle or no milk? I am trying to find a happy medium – Milk in a sippy was the perfect solution but she is still fighting so we will see what the weekend brings. Dad will be home to help and dads are tough! 🙂
