[quote=Anonymous]My son wouldn't take a single sip of milk from a cup ever. I was completely anxious about it, I tried and tried (and he'd vomit from screaming so much about the sippy cup), I finally just gave in and let him have the bottle as long as he wanted. Finally when he was close to age 4 I took it away, and he never had a sip of milk since then. He's 12 now, and he's a straight A student in a great school, lots of friends, a nice kid, etc. When you are in that stage, you somehow attach all kinds of importance to these milestones. I wish I hadn't tried so hard to get my son off the bottle, because honestly, who cares? For some reason, all his comfort was embedded in that bottle and his stuffed animal he used to hold with his bottle. He didn't turn out to have all these other issues -- he always slept in his own bed, had a bedtime that was regular, was super happy, etc. It was just one thing he did not want to budge on. Sorry so long, but I guess my point is, don't get so wrapped up in these dates. Your kid is not going to do things when other things do things all the time. That doesn't mean there are any consequences to these divergences.[/quote]
