Hi all, need to hear some experiences from you mums out there...
My girl is now 16months and will be going to a full day childcare at 18 months (which is like 2 months time!). She's exclusively breastfed for a year and I started introducing formula to her after 12 months. She drinks water in a straw cup, bottle, sippy cup, etc BUT not milk! I put her on a high chair and fed her with a spoon. After much experiences, I could easily feed her 200ml in 10-15 mins. It seems to me she knows how to use the bottles but just being lazy to suck. I did try her on the bottle and straw cup but she would suck a few sips then runaway to play. Will take forever to finish or often couldn't finish. I doubt the childcare teachers would spoon feed her, do they? From what I understand the kids shower and then drink their milk on their mattresses before they take their nap. How to get her to drink milk like that?
