Can you give water out of a beaker?

Some people do it ar a young age, Rocco should be fine to have water

we started giving it at just after 4 months. It was more to get him used to it. He still doesn't take very much but I wanted him to see it and have a go earlier rather than later. Some people don't introduce it til around 6 or 7 months though. I think it's only when their milk intake really starts going down that you need to do it. No harm in letting him have a go now though.

I started about 5 months, just used to hold it for her, most would dribble back out of her mouth but now she holds it herself and actually drinks it.
I don't think there's an harm to start trying now.

Thanks girls. Its just because he's on solids now feel he maybe should be having some water as well to wash it down with.
