How to keep baby hydrated?

He won’t drink water and I’m just a bit worried he’s going to be really dehydrated in this heat. Can anyone help?

A lot depends on how old he is, and how he is normally fed?

summersflowers · 18/07/2021 07:56

Sorry that would help, wouldn’t it Grin

Seven months, formula fed. I wouldn’t worry if he was breastfed as I know breast milk is more watery when it’s hot.

Dd is same age. Offering plenty formula plus ice lollies. Blended fruit frozen, frozen yogurt, just plain ice. Nuby do a great baby mould for four lollies

What is he like on finger foods?
Cucumber, melon, berries, other fruit and veg.

He won’t eat any - it’s a worry.

When my son was young he wouldn't drink anything out of a bottle....but we started with the sippy cup and the novelty meant he drank some water.....try some different types of cups today....including a beaker with no lid.

I find it helps if you offer a different cup.

The munchkin 360 cup is great. My DS also only likes ice cold water from the fridge that's been filtered. Don't blame him in all honesty. Tap water here is disgusting.
