I have a couple questions that maybe you ladies could help with:
1. My munchkin has been grinding her teeth a lot lately, and the sound is driving me absolutely crazy! Any suggestions to get her to stop with using the Paci?
2. Any suggestions to get baby girl to drink milk? She absolutely HATES milk (except in her eggs) and the doctor seems to think she needs to drink more milk and no bottles now that she is one....which brings me to my final question.
3. Any suggestions on how to get her off the bottle? She has anywhere from 4-5 6oz bottles, and I was told she should have been down to one or two 4oz bottles by 9 months.
*Note: my daughter is 12 months old.*
My thoughts exactly @bianca_rose . Especially because, as I mentioned it's not their fault they do it. Its just underdeveloped jaw muscles.
Sorry, @alainalovesmommy ...I just tagged all that commented.
help what my child doesn't grind her teeth ? @mc.squared
I can help! This is a problem for many kids with developmental delays. Not saying your child has this, but there are ways to correct it. They do it because they're trying to stimulate their jaw muscles! So, you can sit them in your lap, and massage their jaws! It helps! Also, offering an alternative when this behavior occurs. Like, a teething ring or paci. Or even snacks like chewy things. All they need to fix it is muscle stimulation...hope this helps y'all :) @alainalovesmommy @br00k3 @ciaramarie @kns625
I have the same problem with my son and his bottle and I've tried so many different sippys he just won't drink his milk from one! And for grinding teeth he use to do that as well and I noticed one we ignored that he was doing it he has stopped grinding(took two -three days and yes drove me crazy) but now he never does!(:
I personally would just lightly smack her mouth. Not hard but enough for her to learn not to do it. & I don't have any advice for the milk/sippy cup since I haven't dealt with it yet other than 6 years ago when I just took the bottles away
@ciaramarie, my daughter grinds her teeth during the day; if she doesn't have a paci in her mouth, she's grinding her teeth. I've tried different types of milk (1%, 2%, whole, skim), I've even tried warming it up...but she still is refusing it. She will even drink from a sippy all day as long it's juice (flavored water or actual juice) in it; but come nap time, 7pm, bedtime, and the middle of the night if she does not get a bottle she is PISSED!
1. That's normal. I talked to my sons dentist about him doing it. She said it's very normal for children to grind their teeth when sleeping but if they do it when they are awake you need to correct it. Not much you can do if they do it in their sleep :( 2. Have you tried doing half formula/half real milk? Or maybe ask about giving her pediasure? Not sure if I spelled that right! 3. For my son I just threw out his bottles & gave sippy cups. But they make them so differently now. I'm trying to switch my 10 month old and it's so hard! 6 years ago the sippy cups resembled the bottle enough that it was fairly easy switching! My niece took bottles until she was like 3. Just keep trying different sippy cups. (And by what your dr is saying I think I need to go throw out some bottles!! Lol)
I can't get my daughter off of formula or bottles either I've tried , she had a freak out she would drink a little cows milk but then go back to formula she's 13 almost 14 months
How did you all wean your child off the bottle? My daughter won’t drink her milk out of a sippy cup for nothing...but will drink her juice out of one..
Okay mommas I need advice. My family is hounding me saying I need to stop giving my daughter a bottle (I’m a teen mom so I’m winging this stuff🤣) which I’m trying to wing her off because she only gets them at night or nap time. But she absolutely refuses to drink milk out of a sippy cup. She’ll taste it then throw it down. So therefore she only gets juice and water during the day and milk at bedtime or nap time. Is she ready to be taken off of a bottle? If not any advice on winging her off? She ...
Need parenting tips. So my daughter will be 1 on the 20th and she still wants her bottles warm how do I get her to take a bottle that’s not warmed because once she is 1 she will be drinking soy milk. Also for 10 months she was sleeping in her crib all throughout the night and now the last month since she got sick last month she absolutely refuses to sleep in her crib and will only sleep in my bed 😖 how do I go about getting her to sleep back in her crib? Her crib is currently in my room should I...
Bottles/cup
Isabella is 21 months she has milk at bed time and milk as soon as she wakes in the morning. She has this milk in a bottle as she won't drink milk from anything else! Tried in her sippy cup but she doesn't like it, plus I need a non spil one as her bottle leaks all over her pillow ect... what cup would you suggest? Need to put warm milk in it and her like the teat ?
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.. W...
I mean clearly, she's just a baby @mc.squared
