DD isn't really drinking enough... Do you give your one year old anything other than milk or water?

The title says it all really!

I've always avoided giving anything other than milk or water, for the sake of her teeth and in the vain hope avoiding a sweet tooth.

The thing is she really does need to drink a bit more and encouragement and praise have only upped her intake by about 2oz per day.

She way at a friends house for the day yesterday and drunk really well. It turns out she was being given squash, orange juice, apple juice and water with maple syrup added.

Is there actually anything other than milk and water that I can responsibly give her?

They were both fine, but my friend who's 1 yr old didn't drink much has now got the same thing with her subsequent twins - so hereditary non drinking! No idea on how much children should drink I just went on wet nappies and how many times they drink in a day.
