Drinking water
Hey everyone, I’m struggling to get my little one to drink water properly. We’ve started on an open cup at 6 months and more recently also introduced a straw. He’s able to get water into his mouth but I feel he then spits most of it (if not all sometimes). He doesn’t seem dehydrated but I wonder if he should be having heavier wet nappies… does anyone have any tips or is going through the same?

Remember as long as they’re hydrated with the good wet nappies they’re getting enough :) we’re always too hard on ourselves !!
I've found he won't really drink at all at meal times or when I hand him the cup but if I just leave the cup about and he finds it he happily sips away. Our stubborn boy is too independent 🤣
@Flo 😂😂😂
We tried 8 different cups before we found one my boy didn't do this with. He drinks really well with the phillips avent sippy cups
Hey! We had the same challenge, tried a few different bottles plus the open cup - he’s only started being more interested in the last week or so when we tried a third type of sippy cup and have also started the transition to cows milk so ??thirstier / more interested in solids and water 🤔 The other tip I have is keep drinking water in front of him and maybe even share your bottle if he’s interested in that 🫣
