I feel so dumb asking this question. I was hoping to wean my baby off of formula when she is 12 - 14 months old with pediatrician approval. However, I think she is starting wean herself at 11 months because she is not finishing her bottles and drinking less formula but his happy, healthy, full, and hydrated. My question is when I switch to cows milk does that hydrate her enough with some water? She drinks some out of the sippy cup but hasn’t quite mastered yet so definitely not drinking enough like she would a bottle. I am concerned she will be dehydrated. She is a great eater so I am not concerned about the nutrition part or her being hungry. We will probably still do morning and night time bottles for a little while.

Learn more about our guidelines.Homemade popsicles helped get through the hot season while working on cup/straw drinking. You can tell dehydration a couple different ways. Press her fingertips & it stays white, cracked lips, pinching the skin gently and it doesn’t immediately bounce back and lethargy are the easiest in toddlers to check for dehydration!
Long as she's still drinking milk it's fine. My son switched to cows milk at one and was still having bottles up until he was 2.
You can also give her foods that are full of liquid like melon, grapes, custard, ice lollies etc
@Nina did you feed cows milk bottle the same as you would formula or pumped breast milk? like the same amount of bottles or less?
Hi I use a little baby bottle with water in it:) she knows how to use sippy cups but can cause a lot of spillages so bottle with water. That way little one gets hydrated throughout day and you don’t have to stress
- this is for my 16 month old though but this is what I do now
I used a regular cup and my daughter adjusted quickly to it and we skipped sippy cups.
If she’s eating solids ideally she should be drinking water anyways to help with digestion. We use straw cups only, my daughter hasn’t used a baby bottle since 6 months since we breastfed. My girl just turned one and has been self weaning for about a month, I think she drinks about 2 cups of water a day. Some moms say putting yogurt on the straw can help them learn how to use them. But I personally would put the straw in a cup of water, place my finger on the end outside the water and remove from the water to bring to her mouth. That way the water stays in the straw but isn’t too much for them to choke on it. It may take a little bit for her to learn to suck from the straw but just keep trying. Keep your finger on the straw so it only drips slowly
@Samantha we did this too! It worked wonders. Now our 2yo has his favorite water bottle that he carries around with him and he drinks out of that. He will even make sure it’s packed if we’re going somewhere 😂
Yeah he used his bottles up until he was about 2.5 when having milk, then we transitioned to a cup with a straw. He had a sippy cup for water though from 6 months old.
I wouldn’t give sippy cups give a straw cup and put like 2oz of juice vs. a10oz cup. That’s what we do with our son and once he drinks one of them I just give water after that. My son drink from a straw for water around 6 months and really got the hang of it around 8 months. Around 16 months I completely took him off bottle and put milk in the straw cups too.
Idk if anyone else has mentioned it but a straw cup might work. I exclusively breastfeed and I always skip the sippy cup and go straight to a straw cup instead😀
We skipped the sippy and did open cup and straw cup training instead.
