Water intake
LO is 1 on Halloween so starting to transition to cows milk. However I’m concerned about his water intake. Will drink 3x6oz bottles, but literally only sips of water with meals - maybe 2oz a day. Will his thirst just naturally increase as milk drops 🤔
How much water is your LO drinking alongside their milk?

Different bottles help, we use various water bottles for our son like a straw one, normal one, mam one with water in throughout the day and he’s drinking more using this technique ☺️x
So I’m using a tum tum with straw and he has it on his tray through meals, on his playmat all day with him. I’ve even tried using one myself and showing him, he’ll take literally a sip or 2 and that’s it. I’ve tried the basic tomee tippee as well. I’m just concerned that in 2 weeks when he is only having a small amount of cows milk that not drinking water is going to be an issue 🤔
@Kadie which ones do you use?

I’ve just started weaning my daughter onto cows milk as well, which she seems to like way more than formula. My daughter drinks maybe 3-6oz of water a day. Just offer it more during meals and maybe just randomly throughout the day. Sometimes I’ll give her some water just after she’s woken up especially if food isn’t ready yet. I wouldn’t worry too much, he’s having fluids and if he doesn’t seem dehydrated
