He didn't drink a lot til 7 mo and started sippy around then but didn't truly get the hang of it til 8 mo or maybe even later </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-baby-start-drinking-water-regularly#post-396892 Wed, 14 Nov 2012 11:29:05 +0000 sarac 396892@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I started offering water in a straw cup when mine started eating real amounts of food, so around 7 months. She didn't really figure out the cup until about 8 months, and then I always offered it with meals. </p> <p>Then at a year I started baby sign, and 'drink' is one of the ones she uses. It is *so* useful, because she signs it really often, some times when I would never have thought to give her water. I would suggest a word or a sign for that very early on. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-baby-start-drinking-water-regularly#post-396838 Wed, 14 Nov 2012 11:09:20 +0000 Mrsbells 396838@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>And was it out of a bottle or sippy cup? </p>
