My baby is 9 months old. He does not want to drink water at all. Even if I forcibly make him drink, he spits it out. Only way to make him drink liquid is through fruit juices. What is the solution?

you should keep trying giving water in different forms as well as in its natural form. you can try adding a little sugar in the water to make it sweet. also, try giving your baby fresh homemade fruit juices and add a lot of water in it. additionally, you can also make infused water at home by adding sprigs of mint and skins of oranges and sweet lime in the water. keep it for some time and see if your baby likes the water.

if your baby is so against the idea of having water, don't force it for now as it will make him completely stop having water. instead, try giving water in different forms. make fresh juices with lots of water, watery dal, curd mixed with a bit of water and so on. also try giving tender coconut water.

Keep giving and trying. Avoid juice unless it's freshly squeeze. Ready made juicies are made with concentrates and high in sugar content.
