Problem solved - boob to cup ..... sort of!

[Guest guest]

Some of you might remember that I was having a problem persuading DD2

(14 months yesterday) to drink milk from a cup. I hit on a solution

by accident. I drink my milk with chocolate powder in and DD2 always

jumps up and down and demands a bit off a spoon. So I put a straw in

my glass and she drank quite a bit so I have now bought one of those

cups with a short integral straw and she is happily guzzling away at

her chocolate milk.

After four days of this I thought - great time to drop the morning

breastfeed - so when she woke I took her and DD1 downstairs and did

their milk. I then took DD1 and DD2 back up to DH (with a cup of tea

for him) and sat DDs on the bed. DD2 noticed the boobie pillow

(U-shaped cushion) and pointed and said " Dat, Bubbas " . I said No and

distracted her by going into DD1's room and starting to her dressed.

DD2 wandered off and returned a minute or so later carrying the boobie

pillow which is about the same size as her. She dumped it on DD1's

bedroom floor, pointed again and said " Dat, now " ! Well how could I

resist ....
