What can I do to make my one-year like liquids.

Question

My one-year old hates liquids. She likes to eat solids and also tries all varieties. She is not used to bottle. She can take liquids with glass/cup. But,she hates all liquids, except butter milk. she even doesn't like drinking water after her solid feed. How can I make her like liquids?

Answer 1

try letting her use a straw...our son is almost 11 months old and fascinated by straws....he's still trying to learn to use one but if a cup has a straw in it he's all about whatever the drink is....we have to remove our straws from soda so he doesn't throw a fit for soda or tea. Best of luck!

Answer 2

get her a special sippee cup with her favourite thing on it (my lil pony, barbie...) or a big long squiggly straw, or show her how much you love your drink and she may drink from your cup. she needs to drink water so get it into her any way that you can. if you cant, try cordial, water down her butter milk and serve her vege soups and soggy veges to get water into her that way. praise heaps when she takes a drink.hope this has helped. good luck.

Answer 3

If she drinks liquids out of a cup, i'm not sure i understand what the problem is.

You don't want to be introducing a bottle at 12 months.

Try offering different sippy cups with water...or make some water icy poles for her to suck on to get used to the taste.

Answer 4

It's actually not good to drink too much with a meal. Your fluid intake should be seperate from meals for babies and adults alike. Fluids dilute your digestive secretions if you drink too much. Encourage her to drink between meals.

Answer 5

Have you tried juice?  And like an easy juice on the tummy like apple or ABC?  I'd be surprised if she didnt like that.  Have you tried with a straw, my girl loves drinking from a straw.  But atleast try and get her to eat watery juicy foods so she gets her liquids, like grapes, any type of melon, orange...etc

good luck
