I am nannying a 4 year old who still requests a bottle. When I started 6 months ago the parents got rid of the bottles. I was on vacation for a month and came back and found out that they started giving them to her again. She has many food allergies (eggs, milk, nuts, wheat, beef, mustard, and garlic) so I understand the need for extra nutrition. I have told the parents how bad it is but they won't listen. Does anyone know of any good sources of nutrition that doesn't have the above ingredients? Any resources I could give them to emphasize how bad it is for her to still have a bottle(she goes to bed with it and has one in the morning b4 school). I suggested she have formula in a regular glass however the child won't do this and the parents thought that was foolish. Any other suggestions? Name: Email: Subject
