When should baby start drinking water?
« on: April 19, 2012, 03:43:20 am »
Hi guys,

Just a quick question, when should baby start drinking water? My DD is almost 6 months, and I was wondering when should I start giving her water? Because she's not peeing as much. So, I'm kind of worried.

Oh, ok. Thanks :) How much water should she be drinking right now? She eating around 1 tbsp of rice cereal right now, after 170ml of expressed milk.

I just offered in a sippy (straw cup) and allowed DS to take what he wanted... They don't need much.
