Fluid intake concerns.

4 replies

Hi all! I was just looking for some advice on fluid intake. My 18 month old drinks hardly any water and is down to having a few oz of milk during the day then refusing it. Sometimes will take a full 8oz bottle at bedtime, sometimes not. I’m concerned. I offer it often and with every meal. Tried loads of different cups and now have one that baby actually does use but is drinking less than a cup of water a day and 16oz milk per day tops. I’ve tried putting milk in the cup but same result. Any ideas? Thanks!

Il be honest this is why I introduced weak juice to mine. It’s hard isn’t it 😢

@StrongandNorthern probably 3 a day maybe 4 and one soiled every day. I don’t think this is enough though.

It is. I’m thinking of maybe putting some fruit in water overnight in the fridge so there some flavour to it.
