Water Toxicity?

Fwendly

DH and I have given DD small sips of water at times because she started showing such interest when we were drinking it. 

I was thinking of bringing a sippy cup of water with me when going out to dinner to:

a) introduce a sippy cup and b) keep DD busy.

My question is this... do I need to be concerned with water toxicity? When can you start giving water and how much? 

Have any of you talked to your pedis about this?

At our six month check up, my pedi said that we could start giving her a sippy with an oz of water...

I haven't really thought about it. I know you can buy nursery water. But I would think that you could boil it first.

At our DS's 6 month appointment the Pedi. said we could give DS as much water as he wanted, but only up to 4 oz total of juice (not citrus juices) a day.

My pediatrician said we could start offering an ounce or so of water in a sippy one or two times per day if we wanted to.

ETA:  She also said she preferred filtered water (not necessarily bottled, just filtered).

DS can have juice?  We just moved and I called to change DS' dr but now that I'm back close to the military base it's a small process so his 6 month checkup will probably be in a couple weeks.

My office said an ounce per month (so six ounces).  DD doesn't really drink juice just to help if she gets constipated.  We do water too - as much as she wants - again I think that helps her get things going.
