How much water are you supposed to (or can you) give to a 7 month old? And what about once they are older? I've been giving Xander water with his solids at dinner because I'm SCARED of him becoming constipated, but I want to make sure I'm not giving him too much (or too little). Advice?

We did the same thing, offered it with meals... he probably only a few oz a day max at that age.

@Adira: just keep offering it with meals and they will drink as much as they need. I dont think there is a fixed amount they need. My daughter loved water and would drink a lot of it and her doctor said that was fine
-
I think there's a max (like maybe 6-8oz at that age?) but no minimum...just offer as much as he will take, I doubt he'll drink more than a few oz.

At our 6mo appt, led said 4oz max, but didn't say when we could up it.

Thanks ladies! Xander had about 2oz with dinner last night, which I assumed was fine, but I wasn't sure how much he could really have and once he moves to more solid meals a day, I wasn't sure if I would need to limit how much he had with each meal.
