Water,Juice or milk ?

[Mum1369]

Just starting weaning DS2 at 5mnths and he loves food ! But wondering when or whether to introduce water/juice or just keep on with his milk feed.
Currently giving him food at breakfast & tea - with his normal milk feed (but he only takes about half as he is full of food !) - so do I drop the milk feed altogether ?

WHat I did with DS was stick to all his milk 'feeds' but with food i'd let him try sipping water from an open cup. When they get abit older (you could try now though) just fill it an inch or two and let them try it out for themselves. I wouldn't drop the milk feed yet, milk at this age is where they get their nutrition from, I think it's up until a year food food is just experimentation etc. etc. I did BLW, so just let DS try out some food about an hour or so after a milk feed so he was able to eat some, but not too full for his milk.

Oh thanks for that - greattip - just tried the sipping thing with hilarious results ! He looked very surprised but took it, then spat it back at me when he was done !
