You are grounded! Wmeh!

As Ning and I realised, babies regardless of age, actually understand what you are trying to tell them.

Sophie, for some strange reason, decided to go on a diet. She would go by a few hours without milk, content with sucking her thumb. And when she drinks, its only for a few minutes before she unlatches herself. The worst was when she puts her thumb in the mouth, together with the teat when being fed.

Her 'antics'' worried me no end, and i tried all means and ways to coax her to drink. Finally I issued a ultimatum: either drink and be her chubby self or be grounded - no more car rides!

Sophie cried when she heard this. And the threat actually worked! She now drinks her milk like a good girl and has regained some of her chubby self. yeay!
