We have all had this bad head cold going round with a fever. DD2 is fine, she is just BFing liek it is going out of fashion. DD1 will not drink, she hasn't pooed in 2 days and only weed once this morning and again in the bath.
I had to bribe her with chocolate to drink about an inch of water earlier so I really need to be able to get her to drink.
I have tried putting it in mugs, baby bottles, sippy cups, proper glasses, open cups, straws.
I have offered tap water, sparkling water, orange juice, dilute juice/squash, froot shoot type things, juice cartons, milk (plain, choc and pink, hot and cold)
She will take a few sips and then say that she is full. She won't eat satsumas, melon, grapes etc...
Please share any ideas that I can try on her tomorrow, last time she wasn't well adn stopped drinking she ended up in hospital on a drip!
