Guest guest Posted November 19, 2008 Report Share Posted November 19, 2008 I had to wean my youngest around 8 months (medical reasons) and we then switched to formula. Now, at 18 months, we have gone to Next Step for older babies. When we made the switch, or shortly thereafter, to the older baby formula, we started using filtered water from the refrigerator door (cold)rather than warm like the bottle. We also started using those Munchkin strawed-sippy cups (the only ones that really don't leak) and when we did switch from the bottle to the cup, it was always the cold refrigerator water. The formula did not mix any better, cold, warm, or hot water, and he has drank it ever since. The first couple of times, he left about half in the cup, but son realized that when he was hungry, then he would drink it all. Maybe changing the type of delivery (from bottle to sippy) can help. (Not sure if baby was still using bottle or already on cup? You can also go from sippy to strawed glass.) > > > > > > From: Munroe <philly_kat_ 2007@ yahoo.com> > > > Subject: Re: Does your child over eat? > > > To: MosaicDS@yahoogroup s.com > > > Date: Thursday, November 13, 2008, 4:37 PM > > > > > > hello my name is desiree and i have a 6 and a half year old child > > named miracle, and she over eats on a daily basies. me and her > > doctors are trying to fix the problem. is this common with in the > > mosaic downs children? > > > > > > ____________ _________ _________ __ > > > From: Kristy Colvin <kristyimdsa (DOT) org> > > > To: asianparentsgroup@ yahoogroups. com; down-syndrome@ > > yahoogroups. com; downsyndrome@ yahoogroups. com; > downsyndromeinfoexc > > hange@yahoogroup s.com; downsyndromeparents @yahoogroups. com; > > ds_teens_plus@ yahoogroups. com; @yahoogrou ps.com; Teen > > Plus <imdsa_teenplus@ yahoogroups. com>; mosaicds@yahoogroup s.com; > > upsndowns@yahoogrou ps.com > > > Sent: Thursday, November 13, 2008 11:50:18 AM > > > Subject: Does your child over eat? > > > > > > Does your child with Down syndrome over eat? > > > > > > mosaicmoments. today.com > > > > > > Submitted: Just now! - Does your child with Down syndrome or > mosaic > > Down syndrome over eat?
