Anyone have any advice on drinks for a baby?My little boy is 6 months old and has been eating solids since 4 months, on the advice of health visitors as milk just wasn't filling him (he was 10lbs 5 at birth so not surprising we couldn't fill him!!! 😂) He wont take any drink other than his milk. If i try cooled boiled water or juice he just spits it back out, I've tried it from various different cups and bottles but nothing makes a difference. I just worry he wont be getting enough fluids x

I water my son's milk down to keep him hydrated, his consultant thought it was a good idea. Don't do it for all feed though and only water down a small amount x

Are you using a sippy cup or a bottle? If I try to give Isaac anything other than milk in a bottle he doesn't want it but he loves water from a sippy cup xx

@ellieandisaac, Ive tried both bottle and sippy cups and I've tried a couple of different sippy cups but he has none of it ... He had drunk his juice a couple of times for my mum but wont drink it at all for me or his dad and seems to have cottoned on with his grandma and refuses from her now too ... Little monkey lol! xx

Haha aww! as long as he's having plenty of wet nappies he should be fine 😊Maybe give him lots watery foods to eat like fruit. Cut up orange with the skin still on is good because they can hold it easily and suck all the juice out 😊 xx
