Hi Laura,
I tried him this morning on cows milk in a sippy and he took one sip and then pushed it away. Is that normal? Should I just keep trying? I even tried it in a little glass...he takes it initally but once he tastes it, he pulls away. Does anyone know of a whole milk type that children like? I am just using plain homo milk and once it hits his mouth his pulls away. He does drink the same milk from our cereal, but I assume because the taste from the cereal is sweetening the milk he likes it or because he is getting it with a spoon.
This morning his diaper was pretty dry because he did not drink his milk last night so I had to give it to him in cereal. I'm worried about dehydration. He takes water well from the sippy.
In terms of fingers foods, he is very picky. He eats grapes, rice puff snacks, cheerios. I have been trying to get him to take more thickened food, but he gags. I will keep trying. I don't want him to be on purees forever! He has two upper and two bottom teeth. He was very slow in getting them.
