Drinking More Water
If anyone has any ideas on how to get my 10 month old daughter to drink more water, i'd sure apprecialte. we have tried adding some juice to it just to give it taste, but that doesnt seem to work either. she will only drink water when she is really thirsty and there isnt a bottle around. she drinks her water from a sippy cup.

try a mix in like crystal light so the color changes and it doesn't taste like water. Just some kids plain hate the taste of water. Be inventive on differnet flavors to see which ones she likes.

We always give our 2yr old Propel when he needs more water and he takes it just fine.

Hey, Have you tried Crystal light. It just basicly flavors the water not much sugar if any at all. It comes in several different flavors. My kids love it. Especially the orange. Hope this helps.

my kids won't drink water unless it is ice cold. Try putting some ice in her cup with the water. Coming from the faucet isn't cold enough for kids.

My doctor recommended we add one teaspoon of DARK Corn Syrup for each ounce of water. I thought that was too sweet so I started with 2T (six teaspoons) for eight ounces and cut back gradually. It just needs to be sweet enough so they'll drink it. Ask your pediatrician.
