KL - I odn't htink you can actually force your DD to take water, at Tarleha's age anyway. Candy may be able to give you some incite because I think her Ryan is drinking some water to assist his constipation. Unless its for a reason like this I wouldn't worry about her drinking water yet - its not continuously overly hot yet and she will be getting more than enough fluid/water from her bottles I would have thought. I didn't start my first son on water until he started solids (which in those dys was 4 months). This time I will be waiting to see how we go but unless Samuel seems short on fluid as it gets hotter I'll probably be repeating this ie starting water with solids (don't really know will just be playing it as it comes)
