How are you giving your baby water?

Question

Are you giving your baby water? How are you giving it if you are (like bottle, sippy cup etc.)? And how much are you giving! 
My son is still breastfed so I read that they don’t really need much water. But I’ve also read I should be offering water with every meal...🤷🏻‍♀️

Answer

Open cup or straw cup. My ped said 4oz per day is fine but she never has that much.

Answer

We’ve tried a straw bottle and the 360 cup but she hasn’t been a huge fan of either. However, last night she was wanting my cup of water, so I let her drink from it and she loved it! So maybe we’ll just go straight to a normal cup? I’m not sure.

Answer

We use the weighted straw cups. I usually fill the cup up ( it’s seven ounces) and it’s been 95 degrees here the past few days so I let her have it through out the day.

Answer

Yes nuk sippy cup during meals

Answer

I give as requested (he’ll reach for mine) by straw. Since he learned how to suck the pouches, he’s had no trouble just using my paper or silicone straw. 
I give pedialyte when it’s hot since it’s electrolyte balanced I worry less about him having “too much” to cool down.

Answer

Mine loves water from her munchkin latch cup

Answer

I haven’t introduced water yet. I also haven’t introduced solids yet, either (we were waiting to be reunited with Daddy). Prepped up, though! I have 2 Nuk silly cups with handles, Baby Bullet and just a couple packaged organic baby jar food (donated) and organic baby bars. Can’t waiiiiit to start (thinking this weekend 🤩) and was interesting to read diff ways everyone is introducing the water!

Answer

I put 4oz in a sippy cup and let him sip on it throughout the day

Answer

Mine hates it lol. I try it every few days and she takes a few sips here and there. She cannot seem to get the hang of a sippy or weighted straw cup, so I'm giving it in a bottle for now until she gets used to the taste.
