Drinks other than milk for 10 month old? Not interested in water.

[MoragG]

I've been offering DD (10 months) water from a sippy cup for the last few months with her meals. However, she is really not interested in drinking water, and so the only drink she is having is her formula. Is this a problem, and is there anything else I can try giving her? It's my understanding that you are not supposed to offer fruit juice at this age. Thanks for any advice!

My PFB had milk and water, hated it, screamed, got dehydrated.

My 2nd has had gallons of squash (weak) from 6 months, and 2 years later is doing well. Seriously, as long as its not out of a bottle, or before bed, (pref with meals), in the scheme of things its nowt to worry about.

watered down apple juice is fine. Have used it to get DD to increase her fluid intake. I started with 50/50 ratio and have slowly cut back the apple juice componant until she is now drinking plain water.

I would think weak juice at 10 months would be ok.
DD would not entertain water between 6-9 months but now at 9 months, she seems to like it again - although I think she just likes the novelty of an unlidded cup and blowing bubbles into it a bit.
