Still refusing water


My LO has 2 solid meals a day and BF on demand. He refuses water although I have tried different bottles and sippy cups. I'm considering spoon feeding him some water after his solid meals but before I do, is this something I should even worry about? Does a baby who BF on demand really need water?

i wouldnt worry too much if they are getting wet nappies and showing no signs of dehydration. I hate the same problem as you (although formula fed) and i tried about 4 different cups. The one he would eventually use is the nuby sippy cup (comes in blue & red) he loves water now and cant get enough!

I've been having this problem with my little one have tried everything to get him to drink water in cups even in his bottle but he refuses so today even though I said I would use it I got some baby juice and just tried a little but diluted with lots of water in his beaker and he took it no problem.....little monster!

Breastmilk is mostly water itself. Additional water is totally unnecessary. Take your LO's cue and maybe just leave it for a while.

My LO hated water till she was about 11 months old and only had a bottle in the morning and at night. If your BF though, i wouldn't worry, you don have to give them wat while BF.
