Once…

Does anyone have any tips to help 9mo drink water? He currently has 3 meals a day and 4 x 6oz bottles of formula, but refuses to drink any water.

Hi, looking for recommendations. My daughter is almost 18 months and has 1 maybe 2 bottles of milk a day. She was BF and then we started using the mam bottles.

I’m using kendamil, and I’ve seen that 1 scoop = 30ml of water, obviously the prep machine makes bottles in ozs and not ml, just wondering what does everyone do when making a bottle with kendamil
My girl is 4 months on 16th, she’s draining 8 oz bottles every 3 hours and could easily go over 8oz every 2 n half hours, but she just seems so hungry all the time, I know it’s not advised to wean before 6 months but I honestly feel like milk just isn’t doing it for her, thinking about using the 4+ month purées in b...
