Advice: Drinking Water

Maybe try spoon feeding water to him? just as an interim solution for getting him to get used to drinking water

Water down his milk gradually until it’s pure water! I heard it helps!

It’s not necessary for them to drink at this age but mine drinks with food. If it has a lot of food in his mouth I wash it down with water. We buy baby sippy spouts to put on plastic water bottles and they work really well

I took a flight with mine recently and needed him to be hydrated. He doesn’t do water too well so I did coconut water and he LOVED IT. Hydrating and electrolytes naturally. 🤷🏻‍♀️

Try the ola baby silicone training cup! On Amazon. My son drank from the straw on his on the second day!
