Lol. Based on date, we were pregnant and deciding which formula to use since we knew ahead breastfeeding was not an option for us. The funny part is we never used any of it because the little shit would only eat the pre-made liquid form and we only bought powder types. I still don't get why but the exact same product he loved came in a powder form and it was really incompatible for him. The joke was "he has expensive tastes"
Also, my advice to all new parents is don't stock up or plan too much on food related items/tools. Don't buy a dozen bottles until you know they like them. This applies into toddlerhood.
- drewzero1 6y agoThat's great advice! We got a bunch of a couple kinds of bottles, there ended up being a few that he liked and the rest he just refused.
- conductr 6y agoThat’s exactly what happened to us. It’s happened with sippy cups too and strawed cups. To a lesser extent but if they don’t like the shape or handles or whatever it’s effectively useless. It's funny how opinionated kids can be at such a young age!
- drewzero1 6y agoOne of the bottle/alternative choices we tried was a slanted open-topped cup[1] designed for early open cup training. He actually drank milk out of it when he wouldn't take a bottle, and now drinks water out of it at meals, but if I don't help hold it he tips it back too far and gets a faceful. The hope is for him to learn right away to use a regular cup, and then only use a sippy cup when we need something he can't spill. Right now I'm just treating it as an early lesson in gravity and fluid dynamics. [1] https://www.doidycups.com/ https://www.doidycups.com/
