Thanks Melanie - yep, have tried water and a strawcup. She likes to play with the strawcup, but can't work it yet.

Unfortunately re EBM, I just can't pump very much of it (whole nother story) and so I'm planning on giving her formula at daycare throughout the day. She happily took formula from a bottle a month ago for 5 days in a row, and then these problems started.

Personally, I'm fine with her not drinking milk throughout the day (since she gets breastfeds at 5am, 6.30am, 5pm and 7pm) but want her to be drinking some water or juice while in daycare.
