Well, it looks like you have got some big changes to make if you are going to accomodate the schools wishes. (Seriously though, this is one of many reasons I dont do preschools etc..all kids are just not the same..but that is another rant:) My 18 month old eats well, but drinking out of a regular cup is too much in my opinion. I would say for sure the formula has to stop. No more bottles! I agree with the chocolate milk idea..formula does tend to be sweeter than milk, so it might help. Also, warm it up, if that is how he is used to the formula. Another life saver for me was actually a straw. Maybe you could do some of those kids cups with a straw, like restaurants use. As for the food..well, again, that just takes practice. He should eat more if you are giving him less formula, but he does need to broaden his choices. That will only come if you stop giving him too much of his favorite things. It might be worth asking the pedi. about, given his lack of willingness to chew his food, but it is hard to say if that is just because he doesnt want to, or because he cant. I hope you find some solutions quickly..you must be feeling a bit frustrated. Good luck ~A.~
