thanks for your replies.
well i dont have any family here but the few times i have left her with her dad she has cried a whole lot and have had to come home to settle her.
she will drink water from her sippy cup but when i tried formula or breast milk she starts to drink as per usual then lets it fall out of her mouth when realises its not water.
yeah, she is the type of kid who will fall asleep in arms and when placed in cot wake and know she doesnt want to be in there so she either 1-cries or 2- is wide awake for the next couple of hours!!!!!!
i sometimes just wish she would be an 'easy' kid.
