drinking problems!!!!!

[jayney09]

my daughter is 18 months old and up to a few days ago she would only drink SMA milk in a bottle now she will not even drink that she just bites at teat, i have tried to give her water, juice, milkshake cow milks etc in bottles beaker cups with straws but she not interested. just wondering if nayone has any suggestions on how i can get her to drink anything.

someone suggested to me making a game out of saying "cheers" and tapping the child's cup/beaker/bottle with your glass and then both of you drink. I didn't have much success with this when I tried it with 13 month old, but might be effective with slightly older child.

now my dd (16 mo) thinks it is hysterically funny to drink out of my glass after she sees me drinking from it. This can get quite messy, though, especially if you let her pick the glass up herself instead of holding it, however, if it's the only way...
