Caterpillar has a drink of water
When she has her bath, Caterpillar (4 1/2 months) gets her
own two-handled cup to play with. Otherwise she wants to play with the cup I use to wet and rinse her with. I usually give her some clean water in it to play with, and it goes over the side and over her chin and everywhere but in her mouth. A couple of times, she's splashed water into her mouth and made a face and spit out as much as she could. Tonight, she got some water into her mouth, made a face, and spit it out. Then you could just see the little lightbulb light up over her head, and she lifted the cup back up and drank down the rest of the cup in two big gulps. She's about 6 weeks away from solids, so she doesn't need any water. On the other hand, I suspect she's in no danger of hyponatremia from a mouthful of water in the tub. Based on past accomplishments, there's a good chance she won't get another mouthful for days or even weeks. And I'd just as soon she has some idea of how a cup works when she's eating enough solids to get a cupful of water at meals. Should I switch her tub toy to rubber ducky, put the (valveless) sippy lid on her cup, or just let her have at it? Phoebe -- yahoo address is unread - substitute mailbolt |

Phoebe -- yahoo address is unread - substitute mailbolt I vote for let her have it! When I started bathing with Audrey at around 4 months old, she started drinking bath water off her fist, and was quite focused on it (dip, suck, dip, very cute!) until she discovered other fun things to do as well : ) Leah --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free.

Too cute! Should I switch her tub toy to rubber ducky, put the (valveless) sippy lid on her cup, or just let her have at it? I'd just let her have at it. Honestly, she may not figure it out again for awhile. If she does and she starts drinking all the bath water, you take it away from her :-) -- Rhiannon Mom to M. Girl and O. Boy |

Hasn't made him sick yet. Gross, though. He doesn't think so. |

I'd stick with the cup, Nathanael doesn't really play with his ducks, but anything with handles he's very keen on. |
