Let her have a go? She'll probably not manage to get anything out and not ask again. If you not comortable with that then pump some of and put it in a cup for her.

well, i agree with mollymae. by letting her experience it, you'll not fan the flames of her jealousy but be sure to explain to her why it is not appropriate to her age anymore.

Maybe you could come up with another acctivity that only you and she do together. I don't let my 2 1/2 year old take her baby sister's binkies and use them. I know, that's not really the same, but she wants to act like the baby, because she thinks thats the only way to get your attention, and one on one time. Maybe when the baby is done, and taking a nap, she could come sit on your lap and you could sing her a song, or read her a book?

I agree let her try it and see if she wants it after that. and if you are not comfortable with her having a go at it then, express some in a cup for her.

I agree. Give her some in a cup and see how she does. My 4yr did the same thing with DS and his bottle. Needless to say she didn't like the formula. If you can make an hour a day just for her. It's helped me out with my DD. She was acting out and making scenes for attention, but is getting better with it.
