When he started having solids we started giving him sips of water and it gradually increased as he dropped bottles. I only ever gave him the tiniest amount of water before then when he was constipated as it can be dangerous otherwise.

We started putting a sippy cup of water on her tray when we started weaning. She picked up how to use it quite quickly and it's always available to her when she's eating. She sometimes takes quite a bit and sometimes doesn't touch it. I just leave it up to her

When he started being weaned. Except my LO isn't into it at all even though I'm sure he's thirsty. I give sips of whole milk now with meals to quench his thirst. He still has water about once a day.

Apparently nothing at all would get me to drink water as a baby, so I think LO may take after me!

We offered it from 6 months, but she had no interest. It wasn't until 9 months or so that she started to drink it on her own.

We try. But rio chokes then shows an aversion. He's a little constipated at the min so he really needs to start drinking it but it's so hard to get him to!

started when she was 6 ish months in a sippy cup AFTER solids. never let them have it at the same time as eating as its a choking hazard x
