Milking It

This is my baby drinking milk...
Clearly she's doesn't like it.



I've tried everything. And the only way she'll drink it is to warm it in a bottle.

Um...isn't part of the reason we are switching over to milk to get off the bottle?


So we keep trying. And trying. And trying.


And she still doesn't like it. Doesn't like it. Doesn't like it.

Would rather go hungry than drink it.


But she's still small for her age so I don't want to go that route. And honestly my will to win this battle is fading.


"She's only 13 months old", I say...


"I have 4 other kids who are drinking milk with no problem, so she'll turn around", I say...


"Just give a little more time", I say...


But how long?

Will I be one of "those moms" that I have seen in the Dr.'s office who's got their 3 year old who is still toting a bottle around with him...

Maybe it would serve me right for judging!

Maybe?!?

I mean if it's one thing I have learned as a mom, it's NEVER say never.

But then I think of all the milestones we've hit over the years...

Pacifier tossing

Potty training

Veggie eating

Closing the door when they go to the bathroom

Making it through a Sunday morning worship service without being called by the nursery

Buckling themselves in their car seat

Drinking out of a big cup

Cutting up their own food

I could go on and on, but the point is...

Do I really need to be worried about this???

Not today.

Not today.
