Just turned 2 DD discovered juice a few months ago. Since then the amount he drinks has increased hugely to the point that this morning he had 3 300ml bottles of dilute squash all before lunch and a nappy was completely soaked through in 2 hours.
At the childminders 3 days a week he only ever has water. He drinks a normal amount and never asks for juice. At home he refuses to touch water and screams “orange” if not given it.
Do I need to just get tough and only offer water? The squash is only very weak but I am worried about the amount he is drinking and him drinking out of habit rather than thirst.
