i don't think my 11 month old drank lots of water TBH

if you can offer fruits like melon and veggies like cucumber which are watery

he won't become dehydrated if he is drinking milk

Have you tried giving him water on a spoon?

bumbly · 29/06/2008 11:38

also he does have dry lips but i must add he does have his recommended 600ml milk a day -

does milk hydrate sufficiently even if he doesn't take water - is basically my question? anyone know?

Well, sometimes they just feel a bit thirsty rather than hungry, so a little water helps.
How are you trying to give him the water?
