Thanks for sharing. It’s common for babies and toddlers to resist milk when bottle feeding is stopped — especially if they associate the bottle with comfort or if they're not yet used to alternatives like a cup.

Let me guide you better — can you please tell me:

Your daughter’s age? Has she recently stopped bottle feeding (was she used to it daily)? Is she taking any other food or fluids normally? Is she otherwise active and playful, or does she seem dull or unwell? General Suggestions (for toddlers above 1 year):

If your daughter is older than 1 year and refusing milk after stopping bottle feed:

✅ Try These: Use fun cups or straws – colorful, cartoon-themed sippers or cups often help. Offer milk in different forms: Fruit milkshakes (banana, strawberry) Homemade smoothies Milk-based porridges (suji, oats, ragi) Curd, yogurt, paneer, cheese (if dairy is tolerated) Stay calm and consistent – avoid forcing; offer at different times in small amounts. Make a routine – same time every day builds habit. ❌ Avoid: Giving sugary drinks as substitutes (like packaged juices or glucose water) Constantly replacing milk with snacks to “fill her up” If your daughter is under 1 year old and recently off the bottle:

At this stage, milk is still the main nutrition, so it’s important:

Breastfeed if possible Offer milk via sippy cup or small spoon (slowly build acceptance) Talk to your pediatrician about formula options and alternate feeding techniques (e.g. open cup, syringe, spoon)

Let me know her age and feeding history, and I’ll give you a personalized plan.
