[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You can use a cup, a spoon, a syringe... are you the only one trying to use the bottle? If you leave and give it to someone else they might succeed. [/quote] This is the OP - I'm not sure that a cup is going to work. She's 5 months old and doesn't hold her bottle, let alone a cup. Not sure the mouth mechanics are there to sip from a cup either. And a spoon and a syringe don't seem adequate vehicles for her day's worth of milk - she'll be drinking about 12 - 16 ounces at day care. [/quote] FTM, right? Relax OP, people have been doing it for years... There are techniques for each of the options I've mentioned... And it does work. If your childcare provider is indeed experienced she'd have done some of this before. How do you think children with birth defects on the face, mouth, lips, etc feed? ;) [/quote]
