No problem!: A normal 7 month-old does not need to drink water. Babies should be offered breast milk, or formula, when thirsty. Sometimes juice is used to help resolve constipation. Otherwise, juice is not needed. During periods of the stomach flu, pedialyte may be tried if a baby is not tolerating breast milk or formula. But, in general, babies do not need to drink water.

Nursing/Formula: At this age, the primary source of calories is formula/nursing. You may offer small quantities of baby juice and water as well. The baby may start to drink water again and no intervention is needed. Watch for signs of dehydration such as dry diapers.
