Botox mouth

I had the unfortunate pleasure of watching Christmas with the Kranks with my in-laws this past holiday season. It was clearly a kid movie; however, there was an amusing scene where Mr Krank (Tim Allen) is trying to eat lunch but he has just been for a Botox treatment. All the food and wine just pours out of his mouth. It was kinda funny.That's what Baby J looked like yesterday when I was giving her some formula.

At some point in the evening I realized that I hand't tried the sippy cup all day. So, I prepared 2 oz of formula in her sippy cup. I sat her down on the sofa, face forward, and she began to suck on the sippy spout. She was sucking a little and chewing a lot, so I decided to remove the plastic insert that slows the flow of the milk. So the formula started flowing pretty nicely into her mouth and she looked pleased. A few seconds later, however, and it just poured out of her mouth. I tilted the cup way up to slow the flow more and she got less formula. I thought it was going pretty well, but apparantly she had just been saving up the formula in the back of her mouth, becuase it in a few seconds it came flowing out again. The funny thing is that she didn't mind all the formula pouring down her chest, and she really wanted to keep at the cup. So we just kept on till the cup was almost done. She was happy and totally soaked.

I don't know if I should be concerned about this or not. Is she still just learning, or is there something physically wrong with her tongue/mouth situation where she is not able to take food and swallow? Surely the latter is not the case as she swallows breastmilk just fine. Guess I'll decide not to be concerned for now and just keep trying.
