Drinks

[ClaireSarah]

I was just wondering what drinks you give your LO and when. Aidan is having rusks now but i think he might like drinks (other than milk) too as he takes a keen interest when i have a drink. Should i give him water from a bottle?

Thanks Claire xx

Try water from a beaker that's what i did wih son when he started having food.

He is called Aidan (spet the same way) too

i used to get those special drinks for babies from boots and stuff. Although non of mine were ever fussed on them.
they enjoyed just breastmilk really.

Thanks freya, i have a tommee tippee cup so i think i'll give it a go!

I still love the name Aidan, it sounds even better when my 20 month old niece says it (all the time!)

I used to buy the Heinz juices/squash's for Jamie until I found out that they have alot more sugar/fat content than No Added Sugar Summer Fruits from Sainsburys so he now has a splash of that with water.
I've tried to get him to drink just plain water but he's having none of it!!

We also tried for a while to get him to drink from a beaker but he would scream. We would wait a couple of days then try again with no luck so waited a month & he drank from it straight away!! funny child

yeh doont use the baby juices as they contain higher sugar! the best is just milk or water or fruit juice diluted about 1 in 10

hmmm I haven't tried it myself but if you've got a juicer why not make some fresh juice and dilute it? naughty but I was just having a glass of freshly juiced strawberries, apples and pears and Otis as per usual was staring away at me so I gave him a couple of sips from a spoon you should have seen his face, one of utter disgust . Didn't think it would do him any harm as it is all fresh and natural, hence if you just made a little and then heavily diluted it?
