How do I get my active LO to drink his milk?

JsMama11 · June 2012

J is not interested in his bottles anymore....too much to do these days. So how do I get him to drink his milk? I've put it in a sippy but then he just leaves it all over the place and goes on playing. Any advice?

Give him his sippy in the high chair.

Give it with meals/ snacks in the high chair and other times just keep a sippy of water out.

I have the same problem. Even when she's strapped into the high chair, she throws it/drops it, and yells, "uh-oh". She just wants to play.

We sit together on a chair...kind of like how we did with bottles but now sitting up. She drinks her milk and then she gets down to play.

This is exactly what we do for both our boys. Water cup is out all day and is refreshed/refilled as needed, and milk is served with all three meals a day in the highchair. Prevents milk leaking on the carpet, and doesn't give them a choice what to drink with meals (they're both excellent milk drinkers).
