I wonder if you could make some sort of "cream cicle" like a popsicle with milk in it, that may work and be good for when it's hot

My 27 month old has been off of the bottle for a week and refuses to drink milk too. My older son went off the bottle at 27 months also and wouldn't drink milk for a couple months and started with chocolate milk and milk from his cereal but still isn't a big milk drinker. We were going through a 1/2 gallon a day and I just dumped out a couple gallons of milk that expired because our milk consumption drastically reduced after the bottle was gone. I just keep offering it and at some point he'll hopefully start drinking milk again.

DON'T give the bottle back!!! As someone who is trying to get her DD off the bottle the thought of succeeding and then going back would be a big no-no. Simply because we are having SUCH a hard time!!! She is 18 months and i've been trying since she turned 1. Obviously going to have to do the cold turkey method eventually, just haven't been able to bring myself to do it yet.

So CONGRATS for getting her off the bottle! I say stick with it, it'll work itself out and you'll look back and be glad that you stayed strong.

Best of luck!!!
