12 months behind the times won't drink from a cup?
Answers: Have you tried the sippy cups that have the straws? It may have a feeling similar to the medicine dropper method. My little one never did take the bottle any, she doesn't get the tip the cup thing next to regular sippy cups, the straw cups were great for us! Keep trying every different style of cup you see, you will find one that works for you both.
If that was how my children did things I'd be frustrated too!
You are only going to have to be strong willed and don't offer into her tantrums.
Put her in the high stool, pull her up to the table with you, consent to her see how 'big girls' eat and drink. Give her, her plate and sippy cup and let her amount it out.
You can't continue to always do everything for her.
very well take her botle away slowly like when she eat give her her bottle for a couple of days then bequeath her a sippy cup the next couple of days intill she is fond of it then endow with her a reagulur cup of juice or something Hopefully this is the only time you hold an issue with your daughter's "drinking". :D
Maybe there is something wrong beside her. Well what I would do is either when she opens her mouth after try to put the bottle in and see if she will do anything also kinda like rub it on her tongue and after see what she does if she does not like that i would definitely not do the prescription cup thing cause consequently you never know how long she will do that and also if this gets to otta hand address to your pediatrician or your doctor so i hope that you like the advice i give you so good luck oh and remember she is only 12 months so all right that's all i have to say-so now so i wish you the best bu bye
Your daughter might hold issues related to swallowing difficulties. If she wasn't breast-feeding well, nor accepting a bottle, then she might've feel overwhelmed. The consistency of liquids can be difficult to swallow for some people, especially infants.
Does she devour well? Does she eat foods of different consistencies and texture? Or does she lean towards certain types of foods? Have you tried using a straw?
Since your child literally takes the juice by opening her mouth, pouring the liquid, and swallowing, she might be at risk for oral-motor deficit.
What I mean by that is this: drinking from bottles and cups allow the child to strengthen her chops, cheeks, and tongue by performing a labial seal around the item, sucking the liquid, and swallowing it appropriately.
If she doesn't strengthen those muscles, she might also be at risk for speech production difficulties.
She could also own sensory deficits-- where specific consistencies are not overall tolerated well.
If this is a serious issue, you might want to look into an MBS study (modified barium swallow study). It's pretty much a moving x-ray. They will nurture her different liquids of different consistencies and x-ray her swallowing patterns.
You can chitchat to your child's pediatrician or ENT regarding a referral to obtain an MBS. You might even know how to consult an occupational therapist in connection with the sensory concerns.
