Drinking water help
Hi everyone! My LO is 8.5m and we’re struggling with drinking water. At around 6-7m I introduced a straw cup and she took it right away but barely actually drank the water - she’d just suck it up the straw then back down. Crazy back wash situation ahaha wasn’t a big deal cause she was still learning. Well now at this age, while she’s “drinking” most of it ends up spilling out of her mouth. Any tips? Is this an issue or something that will just come with time? I’m just worried she’s not drinking enough water, if that’s even a thing at this age?
I’ve tried different water bottles with skinny straws (like the tommee tippee) and she didn’t understand those at all.
Pictured is her current water bottle. I have straws with a valve and without. Same outcome with both!
