How to get my 7 month old to drink water

Hi, my 7 month old DD only drinks milk and I'd like her to start drinking water too. I have tried giving her water in a bottle and also in a sippy cup but she won't drink it. Does anyone have any suggestions for how to encourage her to drink water?

Many thanks

If she's bf or having formula, the simp,e answer is she doesn't need it. The only exception would be if she's fdf and it's extremely hot.

Nothing to stop you giving her a cup of water with food, but no need to stress if she's not bothered Smile

My 2 DS were BF. DS 1 took a bottle, and a soother, but ds2 didn't. I got him to drink water after 6 mo, with the small Ballygowan bottles.
The pull up thing was small at the top, and because he wasn't used to sucking a bottle, I could just squeeze it a little to get some water flowing.
That brand ,then, had a small nib size.
Memories. 😌
