Introducing water

ive let my son drink from a water bottle. he does really good & straw cups and open cups

I’ve been offering it in a sippy cup or open cup with meals/purees. Currently, she has 1-2 meals per day, usually morning and afternoon. Each time, I’ll offer 2 oz, but she never drinks it all, especially if it’s in the open cup because she’s still figuring that out.

no more than 8oz a day. but i doubt they'll drink close to that

@Sydney @Valerie have either of you found a cup you prefer

My little girl actually loves water bottles too. She gets so excited when she sees us drink from one and I typically offer her a sip too.

As far as sippy cups go, we’re still trialing them. She seems to prefer the ones with handles right now since she can control them much better. I’m focusing mostly on the open cup and a straw cup with handles. The straw cup is munchkin brand, and we have a nuby sippy cup that my MIL got her that she also does well with!

Our little loves water & has been trying to drink it (showers/baths) for months. The day she turned 6 months we gave her some (distilled) & she absolutely loves it. Pediatrician said no more that 4-8 oz of water at this age. We use this open cup that's part of a developmental set from EzPz: https://ezpzfun.com/products/developmental-cup-set?utm_source=google&utm_medium=paid&utm_campaign=20420703790&utm_content=&utm_term=&em_source=google&em_adid=&em_campaign=20420703790&em_keyword=&utm_term=em:google::20420703790:&gad_source=1&gclid=CjwKCAiAmZGrBhAnEiwAo9qHiSACdWiQ1GuYb6qaofWIXIhOFE172GA7ifGPc--_BZEYHqY_igxK_BoCfDUQAvD_BwE . Recommended by our lactation consultant who discouraged sippy cups until she master's the open it then straws to follow proper oral development. It took her some time (little cup holds 2 oz) & she never drinks more than 1/4 to maybe 1/2 a cup which we offer during her solids she gets 2 times per day but at her 6 month appointment today we got the go ahead to offer 3 solids per day.

I do 1oz in a open cup that has handles with meals

Our pediatrician said to try different cups so she learns how to use them and to help build her drinking skills lol so far sippy cup is her favorite. Also to start with 1-2 oz unless you want a puddle on the floor
