Drinking water

Baby below 12 months shld still be getting their liquids mainly from milk. So don't worry abt her not drinking plain water tt much as long as her poop isn't so hard. My boy used not to like drinking water too but our PD said it's not a concern since he was still drinking lots of milk and no problem with his bowels. Eventually at 1.5 years old, my boy began to love drinking water and when he went to PG, his teacher said he would always ask for a refill for his water bottle. Just sharing: The American Academy of Pediatrics suggests offering up to 8 ounces (227ml) of water per day starting at 6 months old; however, it is our strong opinion that water should be limited to less than 2-4 ounces (59-118 ml) a day to avoid displacing valuable nutrition from breast milk or formula.

Agree with AAP because it is reliable sources, however don’t have to follow strictly. Everyone is different. What is vital is that there is wet nappy. Perhaps can try increase the physical activity and introduce water in between? Or parents can also drink water with them, when they see us drink water they will drink too! I play with my LO on taking turns to have a sip of water and it works! I tried introducing warm water and cold water too. Tried freezing cut up fruits and put inside water so they are interested to see and then try to drink up the fruits too! 💕

thank you for the suggestion :)

thanks 👍🏼
