sweety ur sound like ur talkin bout a plant hunny water should always b avadable dont measure it just yse a regular bottle n good luck

At 6mths I would be offering a small amount of cool boiled water after each meal.   I got a sippy cup that had a soft teat like spout and 2 handles.    He should be getting enough water from breast feed/ formula.  Slowly increase the amount of water as you increase his food intake.

It is reccommend that you give cool boiled water up until 12mths but I started giveing normal tap water at about 8-9mths.  My reasoning for this was that he was crawling around at this age and putting every unsterile thing imagineable in his mouth.

my boy usually gets a bit of water at meal times and if we are out as it is hard to mix formula on the go. I usually take a pop top full of water with me and wen i drink i usually offer him some when he has had enough he just wont open his mouth.

We have been giving our daughter cooled boiled water in a sippy cup since she was about 6 months old. Just find a sippy cup with handles on both sides that your baby can hold.

Generally, you want to provide more fluids when eating solids. But this doesn't have to be water, it could be the milk (breast or formula - whatever your baby is on).

What I did with my children when I started them on solids is to offer a few sips of water after they ate. I had a very simple sippy cup and I placed it in their mouths. A few drips and that was it. As they get older and learn to sip and hold the sippy cup, then they drink however much they want (though I don't put that much in the sippy cup).

I gave Francis a bottle of water every now and then, he was breast fed until 8  months.. But my mother kept insisting I gave water...

Don't know if it was wrong or right, but there was no harm in it...
