Bye-Bye, Milk Bottle

Alright, first of all, mummy is quite ashamed to admit that she still gives me milk in a milk bottle although I am fast approaching 5 years old. While I am addicted to my milk bottle, mummy doesn't mind delaying the switch because drinking from a milk bottle is the very last baby trait in me that she enjoys looking at hahaha.

Well, it all started when mummy accidentally left my milk bottle in Ah Ma's house (in Seremban) three weekends ago. With a heavy heart, she decided to seize the opportunity to ditch the bottle.

That very first night without my milk bottle, mummy made my milk in a cute Mickey Mouse mug to encourage me to drink from a cup. I made a small fuss and told her I didn't want a mug with cartoon prints on it. I wanted the plain glass. "I want the plain glass. Give me the plain glass and DON'T give me the Mickey Mouse cup anymore..." I whined. What an unusual kid I am!


A big no-no to cups with cartoons (I later told mummy that I didn't like cups with handles... duh!)

Glug, glug, glug... mmmmmmm! I still love my milk in anything they come in :)

That's it. I did ask for my milk bottle after we brought it home recently but mummy continued to use the glass and I did not protest at all. It was THAT easy. So it's time to say bye-bye to my milk bottle for good and here's a collection of the bottles that I've used from birth until now...

One year one bottle (not counting the small one on the left, which was for water)... goodbye to them all :(

Holding the bottle on my own at 8 months old

One of mummy's favourite macro shots of me drinking my milk (19 months old)

Look Ma, no hands... can barely open my eyes in the morning (on most days)

Very "tarn" (enjoy)... one of the last few pics of me drinking from the bottle

Note: I started drinking from milk bottles since I was a day old because I refused to latch on mummy. I drank EBM (expressed breast milk) until I was 5 months old (until the supply ran low).

  12. Mummy Moon & Alice: The reason why I used her bottle for up to a year is because I've never sterilized them at all. During the first year, I just cincai rinsed with hot water before use. After that, just washed and air-dried only. So, who is lazier? Hehehe :p Luckily she's a healthy baby and never fell sick until she was 19 months old :)

  13. A good milestone for Chloe. My 5 years old has started to drink from cup when she was 4 ( last year ), my elder was 6 that time. They drank less and less milk after that. I have added in Milo in their milk, and now they have started to drink more Milo with milk powder.

  15. Wahh, from all that I read from your blog, you mummy is surely one very sentimental woman. What about your baby clothes? Is she still keeping? Your shoes? My my... I can't imagine the amount of storage needed!

  17. Irene: Yup, mummy is quite sentimental in some ways. Can only keep some of the small2 stuff. As for her clothes and shoes, I just kept a few... some have been passed to her younger cousin and the rest, donated :) House too small, storage space very limited only!

  18. with the bottles one is easy, they can sleep and consume.

    now, with a cup is not easy to do so.
