Hello? Isn't he supposed to be refusing food at this point unless he can feed himself? But no, he's perfectly content to let us feed him, even laying back and opening his mouth when he sees a bottle, as in, "OK, feed me slave.

And I had high hopes of making it to a year . .. oh well, I got over it in about 2 seconds and then threw myself a little party. Anyway, in regards to milk - have you seen the movie "The Corporation"? See it and you'll never regret leaving that hormone ridden shlop behind!<BR/>My opinion about pediatricians and dietary recommendations is that they seem to change their opinions on the "right" foods every couple of years - soooo scientific of them - so I decided not to listen to them - ha!Mimimomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10057837894342161452noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18751784.post-1144125328243178192006-04-03T21:35:00.000-07:002006-04-03T21:35:00.000-07:00maybe he's vegan.

Only water. I told him that was fine but kept offering (soy) milk to him from time to time. Now, capricious tot that he is, he will drink it from the sippy cup. Sometimes. I stressed about it waaay too much, and just ended up letting it go. Yogurt, avacados, cheese, whatevs. If you ever need an expert's advice, my momz is a ped. nutritionist by trade, so let me know and I'll give you the Bee-bee hookups.
