I'm hoping for advice from other parents who have had this issue and resolved it.. The problem is that my DS refuses to drink milk from anything other than a bottle. I've been trying to wean him off bottles for months. He'll happily drink water and juice from a cup, or through a straw, or from a cup with a hard spout etc, but not milk. I've tried warm milk, chilled milk, restricting other fluids and only offering milk in a cup, although I always cave after a day of him refusing to drink and by then he'll often be quite distressed.
He will drink sweet, flavoured milkshakes through a straw but if I dilute them too much with plain milk he stops! (He'll drink 200ml of milk in less than 5 minutes from a bottle) He's 2.
