Struggling with getting the baby to drink water

Ladies,

We started weaning but we do not drink water at all. Any tips on how to get the LO to sip some water?

Thanks.

Babies liquid intake from their milk should be all that they need atm...I wouldn't offer baby any water unless they are constipated and it was recommended by a doctor (and if needed it must be cooled boiled water). Hope this helps

Different advice here, my dietitian said you should offer water with each meal to help baby learn to drink from open or straw cups for oral development. I have been doing open cup and he sort of licks it a bit, over the last couple weeks has progressed to swallowing water if I tip it for him! Just takes lots of practice
