I did/do what Mairia said. I always leave a drink around for him to grab when he is playing, also when he is eating in his highchair. Joey is a really good drinker now. ]]> Mon, 14 Aug 2006 08:34:07 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=3446&PID=65760&title=drinking-water#65760 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=3446&PID=65728&title=drinking-water#65728 Author: emeldee

Yep, keep it going.
Also, if constipation is already an issue, you could try adding something sweet like a teaspoon of prune juice or brown sugar (both have laxative effects) to the water (per 50 mls). We found a brand of sipper cups at the baby factory good for Andrew - they don't have handles and are described as disposable but you can re-use them (because they are dishwasher friendly plastic). They're about $11 for a pack of six and come in rainbow colours. If you want the brand name, PM me and I'll dig out one of our spare packs. ]]> Sun, 13 Aug 2006 22:02:03 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=3446&PID=65728&title=drinking-water#65728 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=3446&PID=65722&title=drinking-water#65722 Author: AlyAyde

Ummm, I guess what Lu said - perseverance. I could get Maya to take water out of a sipper cup way before she would take milk out of anything except a boob. I was actually thinking today how good she is at drinking water now, but I guess that's coz it's all that's on offer.

Sorry I don't have any advice, but good luck, and stick with it!]]> Sun, 13 Aug 2006 19:22:00 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=3446&PID=65688&title=drinking-water#65688 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=3446&PID=65653&title=drinking-water#65653 Author: james
