Our pediatrician gave the OK to start my DD on whole milk. He asked me to NOT put it in a bottle and serve from a sippy cup exclusively and keep it cold so we don't run into her only wanting warm milk down the road. Anyways, she barely drinks the milk out of her sippy. This isn't going to work for us so I did some research online & read you can start by slowly mixing the formula & whole milk together and within a week she could be familiar with the taste of whole milk. Also, I read that you shouldn't begin this with the first or last bottle of the day.
Now my question is should I begin doing this in her sippy cup & not the bottle? She only gets 3 bottles a day so I was thinking about giving her formula in a bottle in the AM & PM then introducing the milk mixed with formula in a sippy cup in the afternoon. This way I can begin weaning her off the bottle as well.
Do any of you think that I'll have issues giving her it in a sippy cup only for one feeding for now? I don't want to have to start all over with introducing the milk again for her day and night bottle as well.
Any thoughts, ideas, or suggestions are greatly welcomed :)

I don't know if it's teething or what, but lately my baby wants to be all up on me. All.the.time. His thing right now is to attack my face and hair with his mouth. I am constantly covered in his sweat and saliva. Not to mention he wants very little to do with my husband these days, especially at bedtime. I am literally the only one who can put him down. I love my little guy so much and I know I'll probably miss this phase when he's older and wants nothing to do with me .... ????

Hey - just wanted to put this out there in case anyone thinks its a good idea. Since it's back to school time, you can get crayons/markers pretty cheap. I got 24 ct crayola crayons 4 for $1.00 and Elmo coloring books at the dollar store. So Cooper's party favors only cost $1.25 a kid.

Hi ladies! I think it may almost be time to switch my LO to a rear facing convertible car seat. I've started to look online at safety ratings and reviews but it is so overwhelming. Does anyone recommend or have experience with a brand? I'd love something affordable since I plan to buy 2 seats, one for our SUV and one for grandma's. I'm a working mom and LO is with grandma during the days so she needs a seat for emergencies but of course, a SAFE seat is my #1 priority. Any opinions or recommendations?

So I did sleep easy before with Patrick but I still did his night feeds the same it was just to get him to go to sleep. Now it's time I stop night feeds ;( I'm so sad already. My duh told me not to sleep home tomorrow night but I'd feel bad not being there. I'm just afraid he won't be able to self soothe ;( any advice??

Is anyone using crib bumpers now that your baby is older? My daughter's limbs are constantly get stuck in between her crib bars and I'm about to put the bumpers in the crib.
