How to train 6.5 months old baby to drink water and from where?
I have bought little silicone glasses, 360 glass and a beaker….. she just drips water everywhere and doesn’t swallow….
How do teach a baby to drink water? I’m a bit worried cause she doesn’t nurse when I’m out and about…. And I can’t even give her water cause it goes to her clothes only.

Have you tried a sippy cup? One with handles either side and baby will know what to do. You might have to tilt it slightly to help the water flow out but they’ll understand the motion x
Practice makes perfect with this one, they just have to get the hang of it. Mine has mastered his straw cup now, but still finds open cup drinking more difficult as he can’t yet control the flow.
Show them first, then give it to them. Expect a lot of spillage and not a lot of it going on at first, but eventually they’ll figure it out. It won’t be a few times, it’ll be like 10 times - and then it’ll click, and after they’ll work on handling it better (still a lot of skill required even if they understand the process). We’re currently on sippy cup.
