drinking water?

[sparker22]

how often should i change 7 month babys drinking water in her beaker?

she's not really got the hang of it yet, do you need to change the water regularly (like formula should be discarded after 2 hours of contact with baby's mouth)??

thanks

It's not like formula. Formula is very sweet and perfect for bacteria to multiply. Having said that, if you've ever given water with a meal then you'll know how much backwash goes into those tommee tippee beakers, so I wouldn't leave the same one hanging around all day.

Water's free so it's not really a big deal to change it regularly is it?

personally i think it tastes plasticy, so i fill and offer immediately and repeat throughout the day - but as a still breastfeed she will be getting probably enough to quench her thirst (BF on demand) so i only really give the water with meals in the high chair.

it's not a big deal, just wondered if it was necessary, she's not had any yet so wasn't sure how often to offer fresh water.

ha! I see what you mean ninja! after breakfast there was breakfast in her water! lol
