Thanks Jols.

The problem i also have is that Chelsea wont drink anything but water or juice out of a cup (hence why we still have bottles for milk). So i dont know how well id go with a shake in a cup. Perhaps i could try a straw and hold the cup for her?

[Olive]

anythings worth a try! why dont you both have one and drink it together?

Everyone always has good idea!!! Yeh that might work Jols....if she sees me then she might drink it too.

Its like the toothbrush prob i have...wont let me brush..so nurse said buy a brush for her dolls..and then she might brush her own...(role play kinda concept).

Seriously some days i wonder how i get through life and raise kids!

with the teeth brushing i have worked out that if i let her brush mine i can brush hers!! works well for the moment

We had the same with toothbrushing, now she just uses an adult brush like we use, so as long as she has one i dont care. Try that Kim? otherwise, like jols said she brushes her own teeth, then mine.
We were out the other day and i bought a banana flavoured milkshake and evie drank the whole thing, i'm sure if you added something to the milk and made it a bit more exciting she'd try it.
you might even just have to go cold turkey on the bottles and if that means she doesnt drink milk for a couple of days then thats ok, she might eventually drink it out of a cup/sippy cup if she realises thats her only option.
also, you can get those twisty curly straws...maybe she'd find that fun and drink milk that way

also, evie just slept for 1hr 15mins this afternoon! hooray!!!! longest sleep in days, so i'm hoping she'll sleep tonight!
