Guest guest Posted January 13, 2000 Report Share Posted January 13, 2000 Hi Gail We are still having problems with the cup! We call it the " Cup Quandry " . Emma and Nicki both drink from a non spill sippy cup which they have to suck to get anything. They are both capable of drinking from a cup and both were around 14 months old before the bottle was removed if my memory serves me right. They both still have a bottle of Goats Follow On Formula at night (100mls each) because it's our goodnight routine and it's a nice way to have a cuddle! Ofcourse they get their teeth brushed after to avoid decay from milk settled on their teeth (well, OK most nights, if they don't fall asleep while having a cuddle). They have several opportunities to drink from a cup through the day but everytime I give them a drink, they decide to take a couple of sips and either pour it all over each other or stick their hands in it, or drench the cat - all options they find HILARIOUS (especially when they see the look on mummy's face - cracks them up even more!!). So we prefer the non-spill cups and so does the carpet, walls and the cat! Why does your ST want Tara and to stop the bottle at 1?

I would love not to have bottles anymore, I just feel soo much pressure to practice with Tara, because our therapist DOESN " T believe in " sippy cups " she wants Tara to go right to a regular cup{no spout of any king} says it promotes her tounge thrust{which I don't think is too bad anymore?} Gail > Mum To on, , Emma (3 3/4(ds and Nicki (2 1/2)ds > > another survey? > > > From: GVanHouten <rjvh@...> > > > > Hi Ladies! > > OK, our speech therapist " would like " Tara{and } off the bottle by > > 12 mos!

Guest guest Posted January 13, 2000 Report Share Posted January 13, 2000 They started using the cup before they were a year old.Vinnie (DS) took a little longer to get a handle on holding it and tilting it up,but anyway...Mine still get a bottle at nap time and bed time.I know I should get them off the bottle,but... They use a cup the rest of the day. Good luck with getting them off the bottle. ~,moma to (DS) & Sloan {20 months} Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted January 14, 2000 Report Share Posted January 14, 2000 Hi Peggy! (My sister has the same name!!) In New Zealand we have an excellent brand of Infant Formula called 'Karicare'. They have a range of products which includes the post 6 months formulation they call 'Follow On' - it has extra iron etc. I decided to take it for granted that Emma and Nicki are lactose intolerant and put them onto Goats milk. Goats milk still has allergens but fewer than Cow's milk. I have kept them on the formula because I can't find another Goat milk they like! It's the only form of milk they get in their day (at bedtime) and they get calcium from other food sources like broccoli etc. Carolyn Mum To on, , Emma (3 3/4)ds and Nicki (2 1/2)ds Re: another survey? > From: PeggyLago@... > > In a message dated 01/13/2000 8:01:44 PM Eastern Standard Time, > tonycarolyn@... writes: > > << a bottle of Goats Follow On Formula >> > can you tell me what this is ? > thanks, > peg > mom to M, J, T, AND DYLAN (4) DS, CALEB (4 MOS) DS > > --------------------------- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 15, 2000 Report Share Posted January 15, 2000 Hi Gail - was 9 mos & Rudy (ds) was 11 mos old. He could not suck very well on a nipple but did really well with a straw. Strange right? lol Thats my boy!!! He still looks funny drinking even at 13. His tongue just doesnt go right and kinda sticks out when he drinks although it does not protrude normally unless he is tired. mom to Rudy (ds) & 13 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 15, 2000 Report Share Posted January 15, 2000 Hi Skye(DS) and never had a bottle both went from breast to cup. With a lot of patience and persistence Skye was drinking from a cup and straw by 12mths she still was on the breast for comfort feeds until just after 2yrs (mainly night time). Easterbrook mum to Kane 11yrs,Sian 8yrs,Skye(DS) and 5yrs 11mths.
