Ironic

Jake hated every single bottle he drank until he was about 11 months old, the time I normally start trying to wean my babies off their bottles. Not coincidentally, this was when started giving him almond milk instead of formula. Apparently he is not allergic to milk, but someone without an allergy can have a "sensitivity" to something...and it is clear he does. He threw up ALL THE TIME until we switched and now he almost never does. He HATED his bottles, and now he loves them and will even hold it himself sometimes. 
He is still getting used to sippy cups, and since any dairy makes him throw up I am hesitant to take away his only source of calcium. I've decided to not worry about it and just enjoy a baby who likes his bottles for a bit longer!

Good plan, smart mom!

My kids refused every type of bottle until about 6 months old. Such picky little creatures. I'm glad you've decided not to worry about it. Easier said than done and I'm glad you've found almond milk!

Don't sweat the small stuff, right? Lactose intolerance is quite common, and sometimes goes away as they mature. (if that is the problem) He is such a cutie!
