Tips on how to get DD to drink water/juice

[strawberriesunited]

Anything please, we've tried a range of cups and she's just not having it. She is 11 months old, will probably have about 2 ounces a day at an absolute push!

My son was the same. No real words of wisdom, he does now. I used to do watered down milk and eventually he just started having it. Now he will drink a whole cup if thirsty. Just patience. 💐

Have you tried it at a different temperature? If she liked warm milk, you could try giving her water that’s been boiled and left to cool slightly so it’s still warm or using boiled water to dilute juice/squash.
Have you tried a variety of flavours of juice/squash? My DD loved sugar free Ribena.
Offer your water between meals when she’s not hungry and keen for food. Also offer with every meal and snack, whether or not she drinks it. Put the cup to her mouth but also leave it on the table or highchair tray so she can have a go on her own.
If your she likes milk and is getting all the milk she needs, try adding a bit of extra water to her bottle.

Thanks for the replies, definitely going to try everything thats been recommended. She loooooves her formula but only at morning and night, refuses in the day. She has 20oz between the two bottles. I'll persevere and keep trying new things until she starts to enjoy it.

thank you!

I breastfed to 12m then he had cows milk, that's what I watered down for him to drink when he didn't want water
