One of my biggest frustrations as a mom has been that Porter would not drink his whole milk once he turned 1 without Carnation Instant Breakfast in it. This being because Porter is such a good eater, he will eat anything and everything. The only things I know that he hates are PEAS and COTTAGE CHEESE! And even then you can still get him to eat them if you mix it into his other food. He is a way better eater than his mom for sure! And this boy can eat, I swear sometimes he has bigger portions than I do.I have tried everything to get him to drink Milk with out the instant breakfast. I never put a whole serving of the mix in, he only needs enough to taste. I talked to the pediatrician and he said not to worry and that Porter was in the 15% for weight and needed the calories. But it still bothered me to have to give him "chocolate milk."
Well.....that being said I'm sure you can all guess whats coming up next. This morning I tried once again to give him straight milk first (before giving in) and he CHUGGED it! Yeah!!!!!! I hope this is not just a one time thing. It made me so happy and gave me big hope for the future!

That is awesome!! Way to go sticking to the normal milk, even though it makes me so happy you have instant breakfast in your house, I LOVE that stuff!

yay porter!! That is stressful when they wont drink their milk...Preslee is finally warming up to it pretty good. That's a good idea to try carnation though...hmmm I might give it a shot to get more nutrients in Pres, who seems to be the opposite type of eater as Porter. Maybe he could teach Pres a think or two:)
Hey, thanks for the invite, I may have to give you a call when/if we're in Chicago. It would be great to have a friend... but you'll be pretty busy with "little miss" by then! I'll let you know when we get a surgery date because we'll be in town for 2 weeks. Thanks again!!
Yay for Porter!! Wahooo!
