Whole Milk

We started giving Ava whole milk today.
She won't take it from the sippy or the
bottle. She'll take a few sips from the
sippy, but not from the bottle at all.
She slapped it out her mouth and went hide
it today when Jesse tried to give it to
her. I'm thinking of doing half milk,
half formula to transistion her. Any
other suggestions. The dr. said that I
can wait until 15 months, but formula's
expensive and I'm ready for her to take
milk.

its very hard for babies to change their
habits. for example trying to take the
pacifier away from the baby. so i would
suggest keep trying to give her milk or
give her half milk half formula. I am sure
with time she will start drinking milk.

i don't know, i'd try mixing it with
formula and just keep messing with it
until it's finally all milk.
finn took to milk immediately, our problem
is he isn't drinking nearly as much as he
should be and i don't know how to get him
to drink more.
it'll be a relief when you get her on
milk! i'm so glad i don't have to deal
with bottles or worry about running out of
formula anymore.

Alyvia hates it so far. I think it's
because milk is cold, and boob milk is
warm. I tried offering her whole milk in a
sippy cup the other day instead of a boob
and she got so mad at me. I don't know if
I should try heating it a bit or not - I
don't want it to spoil and make her sick.
Sorry, I'm no help at all.

We want to just do bottles at night. She
doesn't want the bottle of formula or milk
unless she's tired. I couldn't see giving
her a sippy at night b/c she wouldn't
drink it and I'd hate to see her go to bed
hungry. I may cut it out during the day
for naps though. I'll probably only save
one bottle for the night. It's so hard
with 3 people taking care of her and only
1 (me) knowing what's best and how to go
about doing things.

we heat finn's bedtime milk for about 20
seconds in the microwave. i don't think
it's a problem, don't some people drink
warm milk to help them sleep?
it just seems like a big glass of cold
whole milk would just sit in his stomach
while he's trying to get to sleep.

i don't know, probably high power? i never
mess with the power on the microwave. just
shake it really well when you take it out
so there are no hot pockets.

um well my sister drinks it at night and
before she takes a nap in the afternoon.
So she usually finishes the whole bottle.
But if she deosnt my mom just refragerates
it and leaves it for another time. Or just
finishes it herself. lol but heating milk
is very good for the baby, it makes it
sleepy.

Well I know that I personally can't drink
warm milk. It makes me want to vomit. I
love having a tall glass of chocolate milk
while I'm watching a movie in bed. I'm
just a bit worried about putting her milk
in the microwave and possibly making her
sick. I think I'll try it tonight since
Bridget posted her experiences with it,
but ordinarily I'd be too paranoid about
hurting my child to try.

finn a cup with milk and he'll drink it
throughout the afternoon.

That's what I figured. I guess if she
doesn't drink it within a few hours I can
put it in the refridgerator until next
time.

warm milk wont hurt your baby. Cold milk
might, because its too cold for the baby
and might cause it to get sick. Warm milk
is very good for the baby.

its cold, babies are very sensative to
cold stuff. Like u wudnt put ice in your
babies water bottle or like take it
outside half naked when its freezing
outside. Babies are sensative to
everything. Thats why they get sick alot.
