• my ds was like this and I got a safe sippy so he couldn't see he was drinking milk. Wierd but it somehow made a difference if he couldn't see it. Also I call it juice. 2-12-2010 10:16am

  bottle. He only had one a day at that point. One day he just accepted a sippy cup with milk -- I didn't really "try" just offered it to him once a week or so.
