i will second the cooled boiled water - took DD a while to take to water, but now she is fantastic. if we go anywhere she has her sippy cup and will drink when she's thirsty - when it's hot, she will drink more to make sure she doesn't dehydrate - she will even take herself out to the kitchen and let us know she wants it - at nine months. she will happily take water over prune or pear juice (we tried when she was going 10 days between movements - she wasn't a fan!) - personally, i would think it's better to get your bubbas to have plain water...

not a lot else to say at the moment - i'm really struggling emotionally as i've made the decision to return to work next month and it's starting to hit me that i won't be with my girl all the time. it's not a nice feeling!
