Having real issues with Dita, she wont drink anything, she can go all day with just one cup of milk, and her wee is actually orange sometimes=o| what can i do to get her to drink?? And how much milk is ok to have in one day cos thats all she drinks? Any advice would be amazing!

I would give her as much milk as she will drink, it wont harm her and will keep he hydrated. Have you tried ice lollies and icepops etc? xx

Yus have tried ice lollies but her attention span isnt long enough, she will persevere for about 1 minute then she just tips them up/chucks them around the room or feeds them to braden =o|

Tried her with a straw or a normal cup? What does she usually like to drink? x?

Imogen used to be like this and so i just gave her milk cause at least it kept her hydrated and it's not bad for them. I slowly started introducing different types of drinks and let her try whatever I was having and suddenly now she's obsessed with squash. All day all I hear is 'juice please!!'
Also have you tried different cups? as Imogen has milk out of a completely different cup to her juice. I don't know why she just prefers it. Milk is in a TT cup and she either want to drink juice from a tumbler and be grown up or if she's running around the garden she's got one of those fancy cups with curly straw from disney store. This seemed to help her drink more as before I was just giving her juice in same type of cup as milk and she was refusing.

she doesnt actually have a regular cup, she chooses which one she wants, we have tt ones, fifi sports bottle, disney princess tumbler allsorts lol, i literally have one cupboard just full of cups =o|

I give her milk morning afternoon and night, but offer her blackcurrant, orange, fruit shoots, water. I dont think its that she doesnt like the drinks because sometimes if you give her one she will just drink it all, just not often enough lol, i thought she was maybe just not a thirsty girl but by her urine, the colour and the smell is so strong she must be dehydrated! She can wear the same nappy all day most the time.

Will she go to it if its just left on side for her? Our house looks like some kind of squash pub, cups everywhere and i have to pick up whats been out from day before in morning or c will go and start drinking from it. Maybe if you just leave it there next to bradens cup she will go for it herself when shes ready. Id say plenty milk but try some different squashes-vimto do a nice cherry one, maybe a diff flavour will tempt her

She has always been like this hasn't she?


Only things I can think is give her stuff like soup to eat, boiled veg tec that holds some water, plus juicy fruits like Clementines/peaches/pineapples will help.


Izzy is the opposite and I often think she drinks too much! He wee is literally like water!

yeah lisa its not new at all...
if i leave a drink around she empties it on the sofa or the rug =o( i gave her a cup a tt one filled 1/8th with juice earlier nipped to loo came downstairs n she had poured it all on the chair.
She is such a nightmare!!
I try and give her foods like melon and juicy stuff, she wont touch soup, she is such a pain in the arse, a she doesnt really eat hardly anything either most of the time!. x
