Hi all - looking for some advice on how to encourage my DD to drink water (or anything) consistently out of a cup.
She has a milk allergy, and following dietician advice are still using Neocate for her milk feeds in the morning and evening. She drinks formula at home with no issue when it is me or DH feeding her.
She is at nursery full time, and the nursery are now making noise (especially with the hot weather) that they do not want her to be there if she is not drinking enough. She sometimes has dry nappies during the day as a result of not drinking any water which is concerning them. She also does not take a bottle from them to top up fluid levels.
They are claiming their duty of care may prevent them from keeping her and say now that they will call us to take her home when she has a dry nappy again (which is probably going to be later this morning).
Our HV recently came out to see us and we talked about this - HV was generally happy given DDdoes drink plenty of formula with us and her totals for the day are fine (~500ml).
Sometimes it feels like the nursery are passing judgement on DH and I all the time now as DD has been a little slow on some things (like drinking water) and getting up and about walking (only starting to walk with help now). I am little sensitive to them saying things like this now and especially due to the fact that they will want to send her home after a dry nappy and also that we pay them more than £1000 a month!
I have tried every single type of cup out there to try and get her to drink with little success so far - any advice would be very welcome on this, and additionally any advice on how to get to a positive conclusion with the nursery would be great.
Anyone else having a similar issue at all?
