Baby regularly refusing water
Hi all! This is my first reddit post ever so forgive me if I’m missing anything, lol. My baby will be 11 months on 2/25, but she was about 4 weeks early so would be 10ms adjusted. (she’s never had any problems with milestones or anything relating to her being a few weeks early)
She LOVES to eat, but getting her to drink water is a challenge. We’ve tried several cups, munchkin 360 and weighted straw cup, zak, nuk sippy’s, first years straw cups, etc. she sometimes will drink a lot but most days she fights every time we offer her the cup:( i’ve tried offering the cup throughout the day also, leaving it with her in the playpen, just generally nearby. We drink water in front of her, I’ve even ‘drank’ from her cups in front of her to see if she’d want it if i had it or to mimic me and drink. It seems like nothing works lol. With her 1st birthday coming up, I’m starting to worry a little about her water intake. Any advice?
Sorry for the super long post! Thank you!!
