Whole milk: bottles to Sippy...HELP!!!

 My girls just turned 1 on 9/11. We have started whole milk....and have been on it for about 2 1/2 weeks. Their poo is not solid, but they are on baby food because neither one has any teeth yet, Q.DOES THIS MEAN THEY ARE LACTOSE INTOLERANT?

2. I am trying to make the transition from bottle to sippy...not having much luck, they will not drink milk from a sippy at all. Anyone have any suggestions on how to make this transition easier?

Re: Whole milk: bottles to Sippy...HELP!!!

  • What kind of sippy are you using?  Does it flow out easily or do they actually have to suck?  When JR transitioned from boob to sippy (he never took a bottle), I had these horrible sippy cups that just had an opening on the mouth, he didn't have to do any work.  Not sure if that helps.
  • I can't say it's a suggestion, but I'll tell you what we did.  We switched to WM at 1yr, but didn't put milk in sippy cups until almost 15mos.  Our ped said not to bother with milk in sippy until 15mos, so I didn't try to do both at once. 

    We did use sippy cups for water/juice, so they were getting practice.

  • we are using the thinkbaby sippy cups because the nipples are very 'bottle like' so the boys can easily drink out of them. and then we 'practice' with more traditional sippy cups with water because they still chew on the end more then they drink. good luck.
