in Baby
hi
my 8.5 month old still wont drink water, i have been offering him it at meal times and during the day for 3 months now, tried in bottle, cup and beaker but he wont drink it! he will maybe have a couple of sucks then pushes it away, he is only have 3 formula bottles now so i worry he will get dehydrated which this hot weather, iv been reluctant to give juice as i really really want him to get used to drinking water and know that if i offer juice he wont ever want water! i was giving cool boiled water but have now gone to just tap water but has made no difference. any advice??

Can't remember which cups my eldest preferred (free running ones i think), but matthew likes the Nuby cup with the soft spout - they're about ??1.99 from most shops.
the ice lolly idea sounds a good one if you're concerned about lo not getting enough to drink.
good luck xxx
