lili-where are you woman? I hope you are okay. please check in with one of us here or on FB to let us know you are doing okay.
Yup, they are 3 days apart! At D''s 15 month appt a month ago he was 21 lbs, 29.5 inches. My pedi didn''t seem concerned he''s still drinking from a bottle. As long as he doesn''t use it to go to sleep. But he did say I should start getting him used to a sippy. He also said over 30oz is too much, which I thought was A LOT! D drinks anywhere from 18-24oz. I''ve been trying to give him a sippy cup with water when he''s eating but he hasn''t taken it. I''ve also tried the straw but he doesn''t suck. I''m not going to rush it though. I know he''ll do it when he''s ready. A few weeks ago he started using a spoon and fork! I didn''t push it. A few days after he started walking he showed interest in the spoon. He reached for it, so I gave it to him, and he put it in his mouth. He has pretty good aim. I was surprised! He can''t get the food himself but if I help put food into the spoon or fork, he loves to feed himself now. He also loves putting a cheerio on a spoon and feeding it to himself.Date: 2/9/2010 1:18:59 PM

SNLEE: D and C are exactly the same age give or take a few days I think! (and Lucy, but she''s left us in the dust, haha). I think D and C are simliar size too? Anyway, C has been ok with water in the sippy cup..even if she does bite on the spout, turn it sideways and cough on the water-she does take a good amount down. I give it to her during meals and she''s thirsty and goes for it. Maybe do that with D and do not give him another option so he''ll be forced to use it? He''s done it before so he understands the concept. Milk is a different story though.. C will sip here and there, but won''t take down 4-5oz like a bottle--it''s more like 2oz. I''ve given her every kind of sippy: straws, Playtex, nuby, and none are perfect fits, but good enough. Pedi said 18-24oz is the range..anything more than 24oz he said was too much. C did drink more now and then (with bottles). She loves her AM and PM bottle...I don''t see those going away anytime soon. I''m just glad C''s not the only 15+ month old drinking from bottles..
Me three!! I''m worried. You''ve never been away this long!!Date: 2/9/2010 1:54:36 PM
