Water or Juice

mamathefox

DD is very interested in my water bottles and cups. She has been eating solids for almost a month (not quite daily, still getting all nutrition for BF). I got a few of those sippy cups for infants. I have not given DD any water or juice bc I dont know if she is too young or not. I know she needs all her nutrition to come from BF or FF but I think she would really love to use this sippy cup. What do you ladies do?

Just do a little water or BM for practice. No juice. Juice isn't good for young kids. We rarely give any to our DD

I am not big on the juice either - we drink water or tea/coffee. One of DD's grandma bought a ton of little gerber juices for her. I dont think they are returnable are they?

We started giving DS water at like 6 months just to let him try to use his sippy cup. At that age they barely get anything out of it so it's not like they're filling up on water. I wouldn't do juice though. There's no nutrition in it and a lot of sugar.

Why not put breast milk in the sippy cup?
