Help!

I finally got Tyler to take a bottle!! We started out with 1 particular bottle, which I only have 1 of, but today I tried a different bottle and he liked it!! I am very excited about this because up until just recently he wouldn't take a bottle at all. My next dilemma is he will only take the bottle if it has apple juice or water in it. I can't get him to drink formula or milk. Does anyone have any good suggestions that might help?

Megan wouldn't take regular milk at first so we added chocolate to it. Suprisingly this was the doctors recommendation and it worked like a charm. She has LOVED milk ever since.

I did the chocolate thing too...it was the only way Mariah would take milk from a sipper cup.

I think Tyler will take milk/formula in a bottle in his own due time. Garrett fought me (well actually, he fought Jeremy) for MONTHS!! Then on day at 10 months, I bought a Nuk bottle on a whim and he has been HOOKED on them ever since. I probably need to switch him solely to sipper cups, but he is so darn happy that I haven't had the heart to do it!!

Good luck...I'm sure you will do just fine!
