Drink more water
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.
I’ve tried so many different cups and he pushes them away when I offer them. If I leave them for him to try and take himself, he pours the water out on himself or the floor then just bangs his cup on the highchair 😖
I know he will get it eventually, but with warmer weather I’m worried about him dehydrating. At this age I will just offer more formula, but when he’s over 1yo, can I just keep his formula intake up until he cracks the water thing?

We found the tum tum straw cups work for us, it's taken a month but our LG now does it herself they are great!

We had this issue with my daughter and so had to maintain formula and keep persistence up with the offering of water. Open cups seemed more appealing to my little girl for water. We also found the Ella’s smoothies pouches really good. Or making and offering your own fruit or vegetable smoothies at home as these are largely composed of water and thus help maintain hydration
