Ryleigh's doctors have been pushing her to drink whole milk for a while now. So, since she's one and she shouldn't have a bottle anymore we've been trying to get her to drink it in a sippy cup.
We bought 6 different kinds of sippy cups. She would not drink more than half a sip from them. We tried different types of tops.... straws, hard plastic, soft plastic... you name it, we tried it.
Thankfully, God put another mom whose son went through everything we're going through with Ry at my table at Mom's Time Out. He's small, and had to go for all kinds of tests and stuff too. She suggested Carnation instant breakfast. We bought some yesterday, and voila. Ryleigh eagerly drinks it, so now she's getting the whole milk, and the added vitamins and stuff from the instant breakfast mix. yay!
Coincidently, I put it in one of the very first sippy cups we got for her, and it's the one she uses the best. Of course. So I guess I'll keep the other 99 sippies for a future baby. haha

I just got a message from my niece. She's having the same issues with her son, who's the same age as Ry and her doc just told her to put him on Carnation IB! Can't wait for you to meet her.
