Bedtime milk for gassy toddler

3 replies

My 19 month old has been on baby bottles for her milk. She has a cold and was struggling to drink her milk from her bottle so we gave her it in a straw cup but that is making her very gassy. She's doing big, uncomfortable burps. She has some sort of ongoing reflux thing (waiting to see paediatrician) so it's giving us the fear that she's going to be sick.

So, is there a straw cup type solution for windy toddlers? Something like an equivalent of an anti reflux bottle?

We tried going back to the baby bottle tonight but she is no longer interested in it and she wants her straw cup!

Why not try a different sort of cup? I used a moma straw cup with one of mine, but if all straw cups are an issue, just try a regular ole Tommy Tippee sippy cup or some other lidded cup. One of mine preferred the sippy cup to the straw cup.

Sippy cup, or just a heavily supervised open cup.
