milk strike

[Kerrie76]

Hello just wondering if anyone can offer any advice. I have gone back to work one day per week and my Mum is looking after my 1 year old. When I am at work he goes on a milk strike and just refuses bottles of milk or water. When I get home from work he wants milk as soon as I walk in the door but only from me and will then have another milk bottle and another water bottle before bed at 8pm. So through the day he has no wet nappies. I really don't know what to do. My little one loves his Grandma but she is stressed out most of the day because of the bottles. I think I might have to quit.
Please help

Oh, poor you, so stressing! I can only think of two things:

1. Maybe, if you just started, this is his way of protesting about you not being there and it soon will settle

2. You could try a special beaker cup that he uses only at grandma's? If he likes a special children's character, you could try to find one with it, like say Winnie the Pooh or something like that

I hope all settles for you and your little man
