Help, Trying to Wean to Sippy Cup with Soy Milk

My one year old daughter is allergic to milk, and we have been trying to wean her on soy milk for a month. She will take juice and water out of a sippy cup but not milk or formula. We have been gradually doing it, for the last two weeks I have been doing 2 oz formula with 4 oz soy milk. She will take it out of the bottle, then I tried to do just soymilk and she will not drink it out of the sippy cup or bottle. I first started with the unsweetend Silk then recently moved to the plain Silk brand. I think she associates the cup with water or...

Any ideas or recipes that I could try that the whole family might enjoy? I prefer simple and easy, but I am willing to try almost...

Meijer or Kroger

Has anyone compared prices at Meijer and Kroger? I can't tell which one has the lowest prices. It seems to me that maybe groceries are lower at Kroger while produce is lower at Meijer. There is no doubt that deli meats are lower at Meijer. I would rather shop at Kroger as it is less crowded and crazy, but not if I end up spending more. What have you all find to be best?

Lunch Ideas for a Picky Eater

I need ideas for my daughter's lunch at school. She is 6 and in first grade. The only veggies she likes are mashed potatoes, lettuce, and carrot sticks. She won't eat lunch meat or tuna. She won't eat anything cold that is supposed to be hot, like pizza or hot dogs. There is no microwave available, and I can't send anything with peanut butter (school rule). I have been sending her with either a cheese pizza lunch kit (which is really unhealthy and she doesn't really like them cold) or a bagel with cream cheese. I add fresh fruit,...

Need Ideas for Transitioning to Table Food for Toddler

My son Marcus is almost 16 months old and still won't eat table food. He has 4 teeth on top and 2 on the bottom and gums that seem to be swollen ALL the time. His gums have been this way for months. He is generally happy and has a great disposition 96% of the time. Are there any suggestions on how to transition him to table food? I've tried Cheerios, Kix, french fries (god forbid), the Gerber Puffs, Gerber's baby version of Cheese puffs, and other similar things. He plays with them, he'll lick them, he may even bite them, but the...
