she's a milkaholic!

Hun, haven't really got an answer to that one! Callum is the other way round! He will drink his juice, but will only drink his milk when he's asleep! Nightmare!
Hope you manage to sort something x

thanks guys I'll give it a try. wish lily wasn't so stubborn she is a good baby apart from her milk addiction, maybe there's some patche she could wear....?

hi i give my 7 month old normal reduced sugar squash, but i make it very weak. she doesnt drink it all but she has a little bit at a time. i put it in a non-spill drink cup and just leave it with her as she is just managing to tip it up by herself. this is what i done with my eldest who is now 3 yrs. she still doesnt like water by itself but loves her squash. my little one is now the opposite and doesnt want her milk as much now. she continuly fights me to sit up and always keeps pulling away from the bottle but i make sure she has lots of solids throughout the day.

what about making up a bottle of weak formula? reduce the amount of powder by one or two scoops each time until it's just milky water. she'll get the idea eventually :)

How do you convince a 8mth old to drink water or juice? I've tried lily on tap water, boiled water (cooled down obv)and various baby juice and the little madam still wont budge! she drinks her formula no problem- she loves the stuff- but as soon as I try to get her to drink anything else she purses her lips and turns her nose up at it, dont matter what kind of cup/bottle I put it in. please help I'm worried she'll get dehydrated in the hot weather.
