EJ does not drink milk from the bottle anymore. It should be a cause for celebration. Instead I am little bit worried because he doesn't drink milk anymore/at all.
When we moved here in PP, I was sure his milk (Progress) is available here. But it's not. And worse, there's not a lot of toddler's milk to choose from. The couple of milk we recognize are Gain and Dupro (I saw this in KL) only.
When EJ ran out of milk, we tried Dupro first. EJ did finish the whole bottle of milk the first time we gave it to him. The following day however, he only drank half bottle of milk. And after that, he refused to drink anymore.
I bought Gain the following day hoping he'd like it better than Dupro. But he doesn't even want me to prepare his milk. He asks for a juice instead.
I know he is old enough to stop drinking milk from the bottle. But I don't think he is old enough to stop drinking milk.
We were actually planning on weaning him off the bottle soon. And shift his milk from Progress to regular milk like Nido and the like. But Nido is not available here!
We tried giving him fresh milk but he doesn't like it either. I remember his pedia telling me just last month that we'd have a hard time changing his milk to a regular milk because Progress is very tasty. The pedia's daughter which is 5 years old already still drinks Progress in the bottle!
We're planning to buy Progress in Manila and have it delivered here. But we're also hesitant because he might not want to drink milk anymore, even if it's his favorite milk.
While this recent change is budget-friendly (milk can be expensive), I cannot help but feel worried for my son's health and his mental and physical development.
Right now, I make him eat more vegetables, fruits and nuts. And I make sure he eats more than he used to before.

Dumadaan yata talaga sa ganyang stage. Extra challenge nga kung pano siya papainumin uli ng milk. Take care.
hi josiet, thanks for hopping along my blog.
when we got here last year milk has been one of my probs din. My daughter is 5 and she got used to Nido back in Pinas but what's available here in limited.
Good thing she settled on Grow. I also had a tough time looking for vitamin supplements for her. I initially settled for Nutroplex coz that's the only one mostly available in pharmacies. Other brands I don't know so I don't want to try.
:) BTW, welcome to Phnom Penh..
@ witsandnuts - sobrang challenge to. hehehe!
@pinaywifespeaks - thank you =)
good that your daughter has settled on grow. we're having a hard time making our son drink milk. i think alalay na lang sa supplement =)

@ cheerful - when we were in maldives, we used to bring in around 10 big cans of milk every 5 months. we had to because they didn't have promil there =) what's your baby's milk?
thank you for the offer, that's very kind of you pero nakakahiya naman sa hubby mo. i'm making ej drink fresh milk (unsuccesful for now) and eat healthy food nalang =)
