Bottle Feed vs. Sippy Cup!

Tuesday, September 18, 2007

As you already know or don't care to know but I want to let you know, Nisa already 4 years old or to be exact 4 years 3 months 1 day old. Next year she will be step her foot to the next level or Malaysian education level - kindergarten. We have not decide yet or even register her name on any Government nor Private kindergarten schooling yet. Tak tahu nak pilih yang mana satu... We especially me a bit of worry over Nisa bottle feed habits and plus we would also prefer if she can stop over drinking milk like a baby. Is not that I don't want her to stop drinking milk 100% but we would prefer if she can start drink on non-formula milk instead.. Susu formula mahal ooo...

Yesterday night before bed time, I called her in and we talk about her future schooling look like... The situation is not going to be the same anymore. She have to wake up early in the morning.. no more getting morning shower at nursery but she need getting ready even before step out from the house. Need to reach at school before 8AM. Have to wear a uniform.. no more choosy on not to wear this and that... and no more susu (in bottle) in the car before reach at school.

"Macam kak farah ye mama?"

"Ha ah.. macam kak farah"

"Kalau Echa pergi sekolah Aunty... boleh hisap susu?"

"Minum susu dalam sippy cup atau dalam cawan"

"Nanti Echa tak boleh baring... Echa nak tidur" (She means that, she concern on not able to lay down while having a milk like she used before)

"Tak payah la... err.. kak farah hisap susu dalam botol tak?"

Geleng

"See.. kata nak gi sekolah kak farah kena la minum susu dalam cawan"

Pout

"Dah gi tidur"

"Nak susu"

"Boleh tapi dalam sippy cup"

"urrgghhhhhhhhhhhh!!!...." pout

I just ignoring her grumpy tone. I just grab the sippy cup and make a milo drinks instead of plain milk. I put the cup on top of dining table. She just stand there, just staring and slouch her body and pouting her mouth. I'm still ignoring her protest.

"Tak nak takpe.. mama buang je toy tu"

"Tak nak.."(she means please don't)

"Abih tu minum la milo tu"

Starting to cry out. But slowly grabbing the cup and start to drink it. Eh boleh je tu.. saja je... She just sitting in front of TV and drinks Milo bit by bit... once a while complaining milo tak keluar.. tumpah la... but i just replied her.. its ok.. nanti mama kesat...

After all, she finished off the milo and start lying down. Less the 5 minutes she fall asleep easily. Drama queen sungguh.. hish!
Early in the morning, as the same, I'm preparing her another milo in the cup. She just grab it... Phewww!! Risau jugak kot berdrama swasta pagi-pagi ni...

So far so good. I hope we can slowly stop the habits and she will be ready before she start with kindergarten.

11 cheers!!:

dah okay tuh.. kengkadang saje je amik masa nak adopt to changes.

dah nak sekolah tadika dah? huhuhuhuhu cepaaaaatnya aku rasa!

mom pesan kat aku, tapi saje nak share, formula milk bagus.. selagi anak kita nak minum susu, bagi lah.. cuma taklah sekerap masa toddler.. cth 2 kali sehari ke pagi & before tido. bagi kalsium cukup, utk tumbesaran diorang.. wallahua'lam..

rad: I'm not too worry about calcium thingy.. she drinks vitagen, milo and some other dairies... cuma buruk no muka hisap susu dalam botol.. and she don't even need pon.. cuma dah jadi kebiasaan... kalau time2 dia visit IL aku & botol tak bawak.. tak kisah pon.. tapi bila mende tu ada.. then she request for it..

Ilham hisap sampai dia darjah 1! Sebelum turun kereta nak beratur depan bendera, kena suruh dia habiskan cepat2, nanti kawan tengok, malu.
Ihsan stopped masa 5, Anis masa 4, the time when we moved here. Meneysal lak berentikan diorang awal2 sebab Anis sekarang ni gigi dia kecik2 aje.. mcam tak cukup calcium.
Tapi sekarang ni I tengah nak train izani minum dari botol and tak berjaya, so Anis lah tolong habiskan hisap susu dia.. hee hee.

my daugthers pun setakat ni never asked to berhenti anything pun. semua kemahuan sendiri. but kita orang memang tak kisah sangat pulak pasal hisap susu in bottles ni. and definitely kalau tak hisap from bottle sure banyak kurang punya hisap susu.

anak2 masa baby breastfeed at least sampai one year old, feryal sampai 26 months - bila dah stop breastfeed, minum formula dalam sippy cup tapi tak lama lepas tu minum dalam cawan - Alhamdulillah sekarang dah besar (after 3 years old) minum fresh milk dalam kotak then other supplements like vitagen, yoghurt - milo I tukar kepada vico sebab milo tu manis - tak berapa elok pada pandangan I ni..kalau buat vico I campurkan susu tepung dan campur jugak susu pekat manis tu sikit..now nak try toksah guna susu pekat manis langsung - tak elok pun susu pekat tu..

moshi:bagus jugak kalau nak berenti sendiri.. ini makin byk dari adik how?

oo: milo mama nisa punya fav :p.. so far I do the same.. campur susu formula with milo.. and she likes it.. tak pernah try any sweetener or sugar pon.. the other reason i nak stop bottle feed sebab gigi dia dah start nak menyenget bahagian depan.. sebab dia ni sukak nyonyot puting botol even susu dah habis.

*wave* helleww..!
there's one E&T specialist who advised us against feeding our son diary products including milk because of his sinus problem. so, the hubs kata, nanti dia lambat membesar, kurang kalsium and such, mcmana? the doc said taklah.. bukan sebab susu kids ni membesar

Nadia said...
