Fluids

Any tips on getting my child to drink fluids that isn’t milk? He has his puréed food, Melty sticks and milk. Tried him on water and it was a no, tried him on fruit juice in water and that was a no. Any ideas to get him to drink?

How are you offering? My girl didn’t take to it initially and I think it was because it was a new cup and a new taste so I spent a couple of days giving her water in a bottle to get used to the taste and now she is trying to drink out of her cups

@Lauryn I’ve only been trying with a bottle. But I do need a cup for nursery, any recommendations on a cup? Xx

Use the tum tum cups they have no valve and are better for their teeth x

Second the tum tum sippy cups. They’re amazing. It’s all I’ve used with my girl since we’ve started weaning and giving water x

We tried so many cups but he seems to have landed on the Tommee Tippee free flow ones, you can pick them up for a couple of pounds at the supermarket. Don’t get me wrong, there’s a lot of flailing and slamming it around, so he’s always soaked 😂 but he can drink without help from these which he prefers, kicks off if I try 😂

I’m still struggling but I went back to bottles for my LB because he wasn’t interested in the sippy cup. I’ve also tried dipping the straw in yogurt first and then he’ll drink x
