I've only ever given my 7mo water with her meals, but she doesn't drink much. The meals themselves are all pureed vegetables and full of water, sometimes with a bit of formula in them, so very moist. Her #2s are, as far as I know, perfectly normal (only drier/harder if she's had avocado for a meal). But some people seem to think I should give her fruit juice so she drinks more. Annabel Karmel says it's fine. But my friend says if I do, she'll never drink water again, and now is the time to be strong.
