My daughter is 1 in a few weeks and she still won't hold a bottle or training cup herself.
I have tried every bottle and cup I can find and she just won't give herslf a drink.
I am really worried that she is not getting enough fluids throughout the day. She has milk with her cereal at breakfast and an 8oz bottle at bedtime.
I send a bottle of Formula to the childminders but it always comes back untouched. The childminder says I shouldn't worry as she gets most of her fluid requirement in her food (small sandwiches and fruit).
How can I tell if she is dehydrated?
I have friends whose 6 months old give themselves a drink!!
Thank you for any advice
