You might want to try something else besides liquids prior to nap/bedtime. It will come in handy later and they won't wake up as wet. Try to find something else that comforts them, such as a "lovie", rocking, rubbing their back, or singing nursery ryhmes. Potty training will be much easier if they aren't use to liuids prior to bedtime. Try giving the milk an hour before and do other quiet activities right before you put them to bed.
My son wasn't too keen on sippy cups until he was about a year old. We actually started him out on the Playtex tumblers, which resemble travel coffee mugs. He liked the spout better than the sippy one, which I think reminded him of a bottle and frustrated him that he couldn't suck the liquid out the same way. We eventually switched him to the Thomas and Friends sippy cups, which he now loves since he is sooo into Thomas. GOOD LUCK!! |
