I have been giving my dd water since solids started too. I used to only give her a little when she had her solids while she was bf, but now that she is fully ff I give her at least 100-150ml a day. She has it with her all day too while she plays. She gets it everywhere and is usually soaked after having some, but she drinks it and it's hotter now anyway...she loves to wipe it around on her high chair tray. She has a ball, LOL!
