[WanaBaba]

How much water do you give your LO throughout the day? And do you give cool boiled or from the tap? just curious really x

how old is lo?
i used cooled boiled water until a year, when i stopped sterilising.
if you are exclusively bf then you dont need to give baby any

None but he's EBF and not weaning. I think if you're weaning, you can give a little in a sippy cup with a meal.

I just give Holly tap water. I think it's ok to do so from 6 months. I give her a sippy cup at mealtimes, but she spits most of it out

My LO is almost 9 months. She is ff and doing BLW, I have been giving her water in a sippy cup about twice a day and she will drink about 15ml each time, was just wondering if this was enough really x

ETA: I have been giving cooled boiled water but sometimes forget to make some up for the fridge and use tap instead.

as long as you are offering it to her then she will take what she wantsso i would not worry.
my girls will drink cup after cup some days and then hardly anything on other days.
just try to have a cup of water within reach at all times

Mekai has cool boiled water with his meals

For those who give cool boiled water, do you make up a jug in the morning or something and just keep it in the fridge? How long can you keep it in the fridge for before having to make fresh? Sorry I know stupid questions but just want to be sure!

I do this exactly, but in a plastic bottle so I can put a lid on it

I giver her cooled boiled water if she's constipated or on very hot days. I therefore tend to get it as I need it rather then premake it.

Charlie has about 2oz of room temp boiled water spread across the day, it helps his constipation as he's on thickened formula x

I give him a sippy cup in the morning and refill it throughout the day with tap water although honestly, he doesn't drink much. He breastfeeds a lot at the moment (after recovering from a virus) but previously he wasn't feeding during the day and would drink quite a lot of water then.

At your LO's age I would just keep a sippy cup around and refill as needed.

My lo is like a fish she loveessss water, I give her cooled boiled water and probably drinks 100mls per day.
