LO is 10 months old, and she LOVES water from her sippy cup. We only offer it to her with meals/snacks.
Our pediatrician said 6oz per day should be the max at her age (we give her 2oz per meal), but I forgot to ask when this amount can increase. Anyone know?

I'm not sure, my LO is only 5.5 months. When did you start offering water?

I don't limit or track. He has access to his water any time he wants. He's just over a year.

@CarrieLouWho: We started offering it when we started solids, just before she turned 6 months. We only gave it to her during meals or snacks.

Huh, never thought about a maximum, I just give it on demand. Of course we are in AZ, so if you don't drink here, you turn to dust 
At 14 months he drinks probably a little more than that, but he also gets about 6 oz of thawed milk and nurses a few times a day. I just fill a sippy cup with water in the morning and refill if he empties it. We only do juice if he's sick and doesn't want to drink much, and I water it down a lot.

LO is 7 months old. We haven't started with the sippy cup so this thread is helpful. What type of water do you offer when you do the sippy cup thing?
