Hey mommas I have a question
My boyfriends niece is 3 yrs old and used to only one bottle to drink milk (don't ask me why she still on a bottle at 3) she refuses to drink milk from any bottle that's not hers. But it was disgusting so we tossed it.. She asks for it when she sleeps.. So what can I do if she won't drink milk from any where else literally cries herself to sleep the past 2 nights
Also she has a fever and a cold.. She just came from DR so the change of climate is affecting her.. We tried giving her medicine and she just spits it out or goes bananas and I'm trying to reduce her crying since she coughs uncontrollably when she cries and her fever comes right back... Any suggestions
Let's just say her mom isn't doing a good job at all so I'm stuck watching the little girl because I'm scared she might hurt her unintentionally because she has no patience and doesn't understand that kids just want to be held when sick.
Help! I'm sleepy and she is winning because she wants milk. But coughing at the same time..

@mw1620, the normal cup works during the day but not when she wants to sleep which is when she normally asks for it.

@mommybug, we found one similar and figured yes it would work. It started to work and then she looked at it and was like no this not my bottle lol. Her face was priceless. @mw1620 I've tried that she has 3 different ones that she picked out but she refuses them once we get home.

@ms.jones, that's exactly what I'm thinking I figured if she really wants it she will take anything. But the bad part is her crying is bringing her fever back up.. And she refuses meds. So breaking it is hard.. I've tried baths with her to calm her down as well but that will only last but so long.. She is tired but is having a hard time falling asleep with out that bottle

@towens921, I've been thinking of different ways to do it.. But she has refused all.. I even tried bribes lol. I'm at the point where tomorrow I buy a small syringe and squirt it in her mouth..

Damn ! I'm sorry that's crazy hard ! Sounds like you might just have to watch her go cold turkey and ween herself off that bottle

Hmm that's a hard one. Maybe meds can be snuck some way

@ms.jones, tried that.. She done picked out 3 different sippy cups lol but no longer wants it when we get home and asks for milk.. She actually starts covering her mouth when we don't listen to the "no"

@towens921, yeah I figured that and I normally would but when she cries her fever comes back and I'm trying hard for the hospital to be her last result.. But she is refusing meds. She literally just wants her bottle

@sharondeshonta, take her to the store with you and let her pick out a sippy cup with a spill proof lid . Maybe something with her favorite character or girly colors will help

I just put on Curios George. She seems to be a lot calmer to that, but she usually is calm for a little bit untill she starts falling out then asks for her bottle.

If not may need to let her cry it out this week. May be better once she gets use to not having it?

Nothing else at all calms her? TV show, a food, baby doll?
