Juice and water question

When did you give these do DC? My pediatrician said DS could have both. I have heard when they start eating solids they should be given water. Wondering what age you started these and amounts per day as well. TIA!

    juice, n/a

    water, we started around 6 months but DD doesn't really care for it. Now she'll drink maybe 1/2 oz a day.. We need to practice more!

    I'm interested in the responses to this.

    We started water at about 6.5 months when we introduced the sippy cup ... but I doubt he even gets 1/2 oz out of it. Mostly he just plays with it. We haven't started juices yet.

    I try to give DD water, but she wants nothing to do with it. I won't try juice until she drinks water for a while.

    Water at 6 months...I fill DS's sippy cup to the top because it's easier for him to drink, but he probably only has 2-4 ounces per day

    Juice, waiting til one year (although DS did have water with a tiny splash of juice once...I don't really think that counts)

    We gave ds prune juice (watered down) at about 4mo because of constipation issues. Since it didn't seem to work well we stopped after trying this for about a month.

    I just gave him his first water today.

    We started giving small amounts of water in a sippy with solids at 6 months.  DD drinks maybe 1 1/2 to 2 oz a day total.  When she hasn't had a dirty in a couple of days we give her an ounce or so of juice (white grape) diluted with an ounce of water.  That always does the trick.

    We started DD on juice when she started solid food due to constipation. She gets 4 oz every day otherwise she won't poop. We also give her water in her sippy cup at meals or if we are out and about and its really hot. She doesn't drink much of it but we still try :) According to pedi she can have 3-4 oz of water a day with meals. Hope this helps!

    DD gets about 4 oz of diluted juice a day in her sippy cup ever since she got constipated at about 6.5 months. If she drinks any less, she gets constipated again.
