Drinking from straw

Finally my girl did it....

About a month ago, I saw Joyce's one years old twin are already drinking from straw while I'm still struggling to get 3.5 yrs old janelle to do it. So asked Joyce for some tips and her reply was very simple "huh, dont know leh, just pass them the bottle and automatically they will drink from it". So what I had done was just pass her the different type of bottles and let her trial and error.. and due to her weak jaws, her suck is never strong enough to bring the drink up into her mouth. Even if she is very thirsty, if she don't do it I'm not going to help. finally, she did it on her honey bear yesterday.

After dinner, I passed her honey bear with full load of water and I turned away to clear her plate. Next moment I heard "chu chu" sound and she is drinking from the bottle.

Its never too late as long as she can do it... she made my day by showing me one more improvement. Now keeping my fingers and toes crossed that she can maintain. One of my biggest challenge with janelle is that today she know but after a seizure attack she might not be able to do it again. Consistence!!!
