Well, Mackenzie's cold continued to get worse and worse so I called the Arkansas Children's Nurse Hotline (they're so great!!) and they suggested warming up some apple juice to help clear the congestion that seemed to be stuck in her chest.
I've read, however, to be very careful of giving juice in a bottle (some babies start to expect the sweet juice and don't want the formula) as well as suggestions to start trying out a cup early. I know they didn't mean "sippy" cup, but I thought it would be fun to try.
Watching Mackenzie try to drink out of the cup was pretty funny at first because she kept trying to bite down on it, but once she sucked a little and got a taste of juice, she had the technique down. I think drinking out of the sippy cup made her feel like a big girl, so I put her in the man chair to get some pictures.
What a big girl!!!!
She thinks so too! :)
