For the past couple of days I've been trying to get DS aged 6mths to drink water from a cup. He is trying very hard but not quite getting there. Today at lunch time I took the spout part off and just let him sip water which he did very well ensuring that he actually got some liquid!
I've just bought an avent magic cup and am hoping that with regular use he'll get the hang of it. He had been holding his bottles of milk as if they had handles so thought it would be worthwhile starting on those cups.
Any experiences pls? How long did you percevere for, what did you find worked etc.
Can you give babies water in a bottle too, and how much water should they be drinking a day? Am currently giving him a v.small amount with his lunch.
Thanks.
