How to get baby to drink water?

[TipsyJoker]

Hi everyone,

My 10m old really doesn’t like drinking water and is refusing milk too. I’ve tried putting some orange into water and keeping it cold in the fridge before meals because that’s a favourite fruit but still struggling to get much water consumption. I don’t want to start using diluting juices as they’re often full of sugar or worse still, artificial sweeteners. I’ve tried different cups. Has anybody had this issue and managed to find a way to get their baby to drink more? TIA!

Homemade ice lollies - milk or fruity.

but honestly, no babies want to drink water and everyone worries. You just do your best and they’re usually fine. Lots of fresh fruit will help as mostly water

We do fresh fruit at every meal but I did notice the poo being a little rocky the other day. It was only once and I get plenty of wet nappies. Lollies are a good idea though! Thanks!

My DS just ate lots of water Mellon during the summer months around that age.
