How much water to give 7 month old?

Question

My baby is almost 8 months old and I’ve never given her water.  I still breast feed and give her one to two baby food purées a day.  Am I supposed to be giving her water in a sippy cup by now??

Answer

You can offer water with meals but you don't need to give water at this age.

Answer

I give my 8.5 month olds 4 ounces of water in a straw cup. You can give them 4-6 ounces of water.

Answer

My baby is 8 months & I haven’t given him water yet. It’s not necessary, but it is an option. I plan on eventually giving him a little before he turns 1 so he is familiar with how a sippy cup works.

Answer

Water is optional. I have a tiny amount with table food to cup train. Open cups and straw cups are best for development. 
Check out solid starts for everything you need to know about feeding solids, water intake, utensils, cups…etc. They have an Instagram, website, and app.

Answer

She doesn’t need water yet 
After 6 months they can have small amounts but it’s optional

Answer

I would be careful and ask your doctor not anybody on here just to be safe I would ask your pediatrician they would know best they went to school for this. We can only tell you what we know and what are Pediatrician 🩺 told us but my child is not your child, so it would be wise to speak to your doctor.

Answer

I give my 7 month old a sippy cup with meals but he doesn't drink much. It's more about offering it and giving him the opportunity to learn to drink from it. 
He's breast fed plus 2 solid meals a day.
