Even since Kyle's habit of drinking from the milk bottle has stopped, I have trouble getting him to drink milk from the cup. It is quite frustrating because on one hand, I have managed to wean him off the bottle, but on the other hand, his growth and development will be affected as he refuses to drink milk from the cup.
I told Hubby about my concerns, and I said that I rather he drink milk from his bottle, than not drink at all. He then said that he got an idea, and told me to wait and see.
Hubby got the milk ready in a cup and gave it to Kyle, who expectedly refused, of course. Hubby then played a game with him, whoever can finish the milk faster wins! Kyle was quite intrigued, and being a boy who likes challenges and games, he proceeded to down his milk quickly! Hubby was clever enough to drink his milk slowly so that Kyle will win.
Needless to say, my baby was very happy at winning and was smiling from ear to ear as we praised him for being such a strong and clever boy. From then onwards, he has not missed his daily milk routine and even drinks when there is no competition.
This is his current favourite catchphrase.
Strong Boy Drink Milk!!
