He won't drink water, any tips to get him to have some.
Hi, Archie is just a milk monster and probably has about 36oz over the course of a day(8oz at 7am, 2x7oz during day, 6oz at tea time and 8oz at bedtime) I've just started weaning inn the last couple of days and he's getting the hang of it with a few spoonfulls with a lunchtime bottle. But I know he really should be drinking some water in between feeds and looking through my weaning books he should eventually have water/juice with his meal instead of his bottle of milk. Small problem..... he will have about 2 sips and stop. I've tried in a cup and he just spits it out. Don't really want to start offering water in his bottle as he'll never take a cup if he knows he can get water and milk form bottle. He's not dehydrated but I'm sure he wuold benefit from some water. Any ideas , ? S x

Try one of these ones http://www.nuby.com/products/cups/9644.aspx
Tyler is nearly 8 months and he has had these since about 5 months.
They are fab. soft spouted and easy to drink from coz some of those cups really are tough to suck through!
My local tescos is doing these 2 for ??4 at the moment!

I think Gracie Faye has same beaker as Archie, I think I noticed on a picture once.
Might try a different one like the nuby one and see if it makes a diff. Also some baby water and see if it's actually the taste he doens't like. S x
