Thanks for that guys.. I will give him a sipper cup at each 'solid' meal time and see how we go. i do remember my first child drank from a straw cup before the sipper cup.

I started giving Oliver water in a sipper cup with his meals when he started solids. For months he didn;t do anything more than chew it a bit but he has just started to get the hang of it in the last few weeks. I now give him some in the middle of the afternoon as well. ]]> Sun, 15 Jul 2007 20:11:46 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=9111&PID=180565&title=water#180565 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=9111&PID=179738&title=water#179738 Author: Bubbaloo

jack didn't really get into drinking water fully until he was at least 12mths old. now, it's all he wants, he prefers it over juice or fizzy!    strange child

i've started to give charli a sipper cup of water or baby juice but she just chews it]]> Fri, 13 Jul 2007 21:43:36 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=9111&PID=179581&title=water#179581 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=9111&PID=179559&title=water#179559 Author: lizzle

The gremlins have a sipper cup at every meal time but they mostly just chew on it and throw it over the side of the highchair to see how long it takes me to pick it up again.
But I do give them water from a bottle if they wake during the night.]]> Fri, 13 Jul 2007 21:03:11 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=9111&PID=179502&title=water#179502 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=9111&PID=179423&title=water#179423 Author: MyMinis

If I remember correctly, I think I gave James a sipper cup with water when he had his solids to get him use to the cup more than anything, dont think he actually drunk much of the water.]]> Fri, 13 Jul 2007 19:52:33 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=9111&PID=179417&title=water#179417 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=9111&PID=179411&title=water#179411 Author: Kellz

We introduced Isla to water ages ago but she wouldnt take any. We got a different sipper cup, and she just chewed on it each time we gave it to her for a few weeks.

In the last week she has started drinking a whole cup worth (150mls) over the course of the day. She has 3 meals solids and 4 bf/formula feeds a day.]]> Fri, 13 Jul 2007 19:51:23 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=9111&PID=179411&title=water#179411 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=9111&PID=179389&title=water#179389 Author: Kels

Lucky for me, Alyssa has always loved water and was drinking it from around 5-6 months, but never liked the sippy cup. Initially I just used a bottle for water and sometimes even a normal cup (I just helped her pour it in her mouth).. Now that she can drink from a straw she loves it even more!]]> Fri, 13 Jul 2007 19:22:50 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=9111&PID=179384&title=water#179384 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=9111&PID=179377&title=water#179377 Author: Sarah Beth

I have started for Kryssi but not everyday, and just because she eats so much that she has been getting constipated!

what age did you start giving water 9or anything else) as another drink to your child? rhyley has 4 bottles per day and 3 solids, hes not interested in drinking any water when offered and just ends up chewing on the spout (i offer in sipper cup) so just wonder when you child started 'wanting' extra fluids?]]> Fri, 13 Jul 2007 17:43:56 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=9111&PID=179318&title=water#179318
