How much water do you give your babies?

We started giving out little one sips of water at mealtimes around 6 months and she now drinks at least an ounce, sometimes 2-3 oz, with meals, but we're not sure if we should be swapping this out for cows milk? What's everyone else giving their little ones with meals? She also gets 2-3 bottles of formula a day, which we're now going to swap out for cows milk

They only need around 14oz-16oz milk per day max (technically they dont need it at all but this is the recommended limit) so I would try and aim for 2 bottles of cows milk and keep water the rest of the time 🥰

I fill up two of her sippy cups and just let her have what she wants, when she wants it. She likes to walk around with her sippy cups and drink water…she also likes to alternate sippy cups. She can drink quite a lot of water in a day. She also drinks breastmilk (along with her 3 meals a day)

My son drinks like three sippy cups of water a day one bottle of milk with his nap a bottle of milk to go to sleep and one in the night

I let him drink what he wants he won’t drink from a cup still doesn’t want to hold his own bottle 🙄. But he has 1 8oz cows milk with his nap 1 9oz water during the day and still has 3 9oz formula bottles from bed 8pm till 6am. I’m dropping a formula from tonight and swapping with cows making his daily limit and hoping it’s still keeps his routine
