Hiya, my 14 month old daughter doesn't seem interested in wanting to drink most days.
When she wakes up, she wants milk straight away (5-7oz) and will only have it from a bottle. I've tried giving her breakfast first, but this always ends in disaster.
She won't eat anything apart yoghurt for her breakfast, I've tried offering her fruit and cereal alongside yogurt, but she won't have it. Over the course of the morning we'll offer her water or very diluted juice in a sippy cup, but she always turns her nose up at it, even if we then put it in a bottle. We leave it where she can access it herself if she wants to (She knows how to use a sippy cup by herself), but she rarely does. Then she'll have her morning snack, and maybe one or two sips of water, but that's it. It's the same with lunch aswell.
Sometimes in the afternoon she can down anywhere from 5-7oz of water or juice alongside having a snack, but quite often she'll just sip and have around 3oz. Then she has 7oz of milk before bed.
Over the course of the day she'll have about 15 - 20 oz of liquids. I'm worried that this isn't enough, as her nappies are never particularly heavy
Am I just an overly worried first time Mum?
