i agree with Jen - just have teh sippy cup there - if she wants it, great, if not, who cares? she is getting plenty of fluids from your BM and that's what is important.

some days, E has no water at all - others, she'll have more. it really depends on the day and her mood - and how much she is showing off that she is clever and can drink from the sippy cup!!

yogurt wise - E doesn't have cereal - doesn't like it, won't have a bar of it. so we offer her yogurt instead. i don't much enjoy cereal, so maybe she inherited that one from me. i'd prefer fruit and yogurt for brekki. i don't push it - she gets to feed herself. some days she'll refuse it altogether, others she will eat it all plus half a sandwich.

i guess we need to remind ourselves that, at this age, they are experimenting more than anything - developing their own tastes. it seems CJ doesn't like yogurt, so no big drama there (E only eats vanilla - buy any with flavours already and she clamps her mouth down!). just try her every now and then and see how she goes. i know that i eat yogurt now, but as a kid i used to flat out refuse cos i didn't like that taste (mum is still like this now!)

CJ is a happy healthy bubba. she is just feeling her way and finding her own taste in food. keep experimenting and see how she goes. good luck hun!
