Tyler is only on 2 bottles a day now and mostly drinking juice, i buy the jars/bottles of juice form the supermarket but im abit worried he is drinking too much of them and they are quite sugary???

What do you do with your LO???

Thanks

dali

mostly my lo drinks very very weak squash ( no added sugar one) he will still drink water if he is thirsty and nothing else is around but with even a tiny dash if flavor in it he drinks more. he has teeth cleaned 2 times a day and drinks from a beaker so i dont see a problem with it
actually we just got the amadeus 360 cup, and love it.

Do u put boiled water cooled down in with his juice or bottled water?

Sorry im abit clueless

dali

i just use tap water, i use a tiny bit of squash ( robinsons or similar) like maybe 5 mm at the bottom of the cup and fill the rest with water

I would water it right down. Tho start with a wee drop n do it gradually when hes been used to it full. At 2 my son was only ever on water. with the 2nd she only ever got weak juice, even now at 4. Juice can ruin there teeth. Tap water is fine at age 2.

do you think bottled water will be ok?

thanks x

im sure boiled water will be fine , but at 10months theres no need to boil it unless you live in a place with poor water quality/ untreated water

I think, actually, there is something in bottled water that young children aren't allowed. I'm not sure what...can someone google it who isn't on a mobile?!

Ally has tap water mostly. But he has warm cordial first thing...I do it so weak that I can barely taste it lol. He also has cordial if we're seeing friends whose LOs have it or Ally just wants to steal theirs!

bottled water can be high in sodium but im not sure if they can have it or not. I give cooled boiled water until 12 months old. and juice is very sugary even if its natural sugars, water is better if he will drink it and i would only give juice at meal times but thats just what i would do hun xx
