Anyone else have a LO who doesn't like to drink?

DD is in the phase where she doesn't want to drink and it's driving me insane. She used to drink fine but for a while now it's been a battle and it's just getting worse. She used to at least finish her drinks with meals but now she won't even do that.

All she gets is milk and water. Only on special occasions does she get juice and she never asks for it at home. I make sure she always has a cup of water handy but she barely touches it. I have to stand there and tell her to drink and even then she only takes a tiny sip.

I've tried different types of cups, sippys, straw cups, regular cups, water bottles but it really doesn't make a difference. I'm starting to get worried.

Any ideas? DH bought juice boxes but I'm afraid if we start with those then she'll refuse to drink anything else. Chat Icon

The only way I get DS to drink is to do half juice (or less) and half water. He will not drink plain water, ever.

DS went off water fast. I had to make sure he stayed hydrated so I put a splash of 100% juice in his water cup. He sucked it down...
