She’s 5 months and 2 weeks I want her to try water but some people have told me not to , any advise ?

Answer

I give my lo a soft spout sippy with 1.5 oz of water when she eats (once a day). She doesn’t usually drink it all. I was told not to give her anything more than 2 oz a day for now.

Answer

Baby is getting plenty of water from breast milk or formula. Any more water and you could be depleting the nutrients.

Answer

I was told no water under 6 months, however I let her play with my straw at a restaurant. With a tiny tiny amount of water at the bottom that I put into her mouth. 
Then at home I’ll let her “sip” from my cup. 
Basically she’s getting no more than 1/2 tsp a day bc most flows out of her mouth. But the basics are being learned. 
We will not be using the old traditional sippy cups, we’re going to use plastic cups from Munchkin (tiny little cups with lids that are removable like a coffee mug), cups with straws like we use, and the 360’s.

Answer

I also give a sippy with food 1-2x a day. It's more for experience & learning the cup. He never gets more than a few sips at a time. 
It had been recommended when my baby was sick to give 1 oz of water water to help break up the mucus between feedings. That's the only time I've ever given him water in a bottle.
