When to start water?
We just started DD on solids June 1. My nanny said that I need to start giving her water too. Is this true? I'll be calling my ped later today, but figured I'd ask here as well.

I give them about an ounce to wash down the food and hopefully avoid constipation. They are 6 months and just started solids too.

Ped also told us after 6 months. Even now at 8 months maybe she will have a few sips.

Our PED said we could start at 6 months but DS didn't really take to it until closer to 10 months because he didn't really "get" the sippy cup for awhile. I started offering it at 6 months but he only got a sip here and there.

Re: When to start water?
Around 6 months when my DD was on table food I would give her some water in a sippy cup so she could practice holding and drinking from it. It's okay for them to have a little water starting pretty early, at my DS 2 month visit they said he could have a few ounces of water a day if we wanted to give it to him.

6 mo in a sippy cup. They havent mastered it yet and yell at the sippy cup so Im not pushing it. I give an oz on hot days in a bottle. Twin 1 likes it. Twin 2 is like "where's the good stuff"?
