dehydration

[sheermum]

My DD (6yo) refuses to drink when she's at school, if I'm lucky she'll have 1 small glass of water all day. Consequently she ends up throwing up half the evening, not eating and being quite poorly. Has anybody else gone through this and what did they do about it?

My dd is a bit of a bugger for not drinking. So I always make sure she has 1-2 drinks before school a drink as soon as we get in, a drink with tea and milk at bed. She has 2 fruit shooty sized bottles of juice for school and she often only drinks 1 of them. I have made it very clear what will happen if she doesn't drink...she's had about 3 uti's now so she's starting to understand that drinking isn't really optional!
