How to make my 11 month old drink water??

[Melisa1985]

My baby is almost 11 months and she does not like water & no way I can make her drink it...
What should I do????

Unless she is constipated or dehydrated, she may not need any water at this age, especially if she is BF. If she is physically able to drink it, I would just leave it out for her when you offer solids, and let her ask for it if she wants it. You can also try helping her drink out of an open cup in case that would be more appealing to her (assuming that's not what you're already doing). She can regulate herself!

My DD prefers it at the same temp as her milk. Maybe try that?

I would probably just keep making it available to her, offering when giving meals as pp said.

My lo drinks a lot more water from a straw than her sippy cup. maybe try different ways of offering??

try different sippy cups, cups, straws etc. They don't really need water if you BF. Do not give juice, there is no need for it yet.
