We started adding a little bit (like, few drops) of a super concentrated juice. Just enough to flavor it. She asks for water specifically now and will pick it over juice.

If she's not constipated and still nurses frequently then I'm sure she's fine and will pick it up in her own time. For months we kept offering LO water with meals and she would, like you say, try it and look disgusted, or just push the sippy away. Now, for the most part, she will drink 3-4oz with a meal but there are still lots of days when she will barely touch it. I figure she's ok though because she still has a good amount of formula per day.

K won't drink with meals- only at other points during the day. She loves her Munchkin straw cup (Target), but also likes using a straw from a regular cup.
If M is still BFing a lot- I wouldn't worry too much about it!

DH started DS on a straw by capping the end of his straw and giving DS dribbles of his water that way. They laughed and played like it was a big game. From there, he got DS to drink out of his straw. That's when the straw cup seemed to start clicking for DS. He really didn't like water much until about a month ago!

@lawbee11: have you ever given her BM in a straw cup? You could at least see if it's the cup or the water that she doesn't like.

C loves drinking from her straw cup, but at least a third if t comes back out of her mouth and dribbles down her chin. When she drinks from an open cup she gets too excited and drinks too fast and gags and sputters on the water.

Eta: alternately have you tried water in a bottle? Or is that a bad idea?
