Drinking water

Any ideas please?  My DS is not at all interested in drinking anything apart from milk (BF until 6 mos, now formula). He is going to be 1yr in a couple of weeks.  I have put plain water and also lightly flavoured water (ie tiny bit of juice) into various different cups with and without the sippy /sucky piece in, (and into his bottle) but he doesn't want it.  Lately he has had a possible tummy bug (diarrhea) and I tried to get him to drink water/juice in case the milk was irritating him,. but he won't...any ideas welcome!

 

Thank you...and Happy 1st Birthday to all those beautiful May 2011 babies out there.

    As far as to keep him hydrated, maybe make Pedialyte ice cubes and put them in a mesh feeder. But I don't think him not wanting water is much of an issue yet. You could also try more juice than water in a sippy/bottle and slowly increase the amount of water. That might work, just make sure he isn't getting too much juice. HTH
