Daniel's only really taken to water in the last 3 weeks and might have 100ml over the course of a day plus about 600ml formula. ------------- Mum to two wee boys |

Caden has always loved his milk, so at that age he was having about 4 bottles a day of 240mls!
Only as he got closer to one that I cut down his milk feeds, so now he has just two a day, morning and night, and then water throughout the day, which he loves. ------------- |

Leahs had water for a while now coz she has been FF since about 4-5weeks and I heard they get dehaydated easy so i started her then to get used to it. So it sounds like im pretty lucky to have a baby whos loves it. She loves it so much that if I take it away she will cry if she hasnt finish   -------------

| Hi - our bubs are about the same age and she isn't drinking a lot of water she is getting better with drinking it as I'm working on it. She is drinking 4 bottles a day averaging between 180 - 250mls but not really taking any solids! |
