When Snugs was 11 months, she stopped drinking formula. She actually stopped drinking just about everything, even water. After a visit to the doctor, she started drinking chocolate milk after my mom and I forced it in her mouth. That is the only thing she would drink, and then eventually added in water. Oh, I forgot to mention that it had to be WARM chocolate milk. Every time. Every now and then, I'd try to sneak in some plain milk, and she would NEVER take it. Until yesterday. I finally got her to drink a sip of real, plain milk from her sippy cup. I'm trying not to hold my breath because today I have given her plain milk only, and so far, it's working. She's drinking it! And it's cold! I hope our warm chocolate milk phase is over.

When Kallie was going through her chocolate and pink milk phase, I thought it would never end. She still LOVES chocolate milk, but hasn't had to have it for a LONG time. It's so nice when it looks like they don't need it forever!
Lovely blog :-)
That pic makes me thirsty (it's lunch time here). What a milestone for you and your baby.
Enjoy your sippy cup days :-)
Thanks for stopping by my blog!! Hope the real milk sticks!!!
Visiting from SITS! Isn't it funny how finicky our little ones can be? Here's to hoping this phase has passed for you!
We went through a similar phase... our now 4 year old drinks water - and OCCASIONALLY strawberry or chocolate milk - if I tell her we're out of water... She rolls her eyes like I'm stupid, but she drinks it :)
Try Coconut Coffee Creamer...It's my magic ingredient. I put it in the sippy, frosting, cookies, alfredo sauce...It is yummy in so many things!
Is "Snugs" your baby girl? I love it. Mine is turning one on the 15th and I'm going to try milk for the first time. I don't think chocolate milk occurred to me. I guess if we get stuck, I could try it.
