How do you get your kid to drink something esle besides milk?
DD acts like I give her poison every time I try to give her water or juice (diluted or straight up).
Any tips?? I think she is drinking too much milk. She drinks about 24 oz a day. She's almost 14 months/
TIA!!

Re: How do you get your kid to drink something esle besides milk?
My son is not a big water/juice drinker either. I just constantly offer his sippy all day long. If he drinks 4ozs it is a miracle. He hardly drinks at daycare because they only offer at meal/snacktime.
Also I don't think 24ozs is a lot

i actually dont think 24 oz a day is too much, i would be using lower fat milk though if it were my son (he was very big) and the water she needs is already in the milk..and as for juice..it has no nutritional value if shes eating fruits and veggies on her own..i tend to think juice is a bad habit anyway...if you do the juice thing to take away ONE of the milks thats making up the 24 oz..i would do half juice half water..shell still get the juice, and the natural sugar will be diluted anyway..
i think the fact that she drinks so much milk is great!!

I don't think 24 is too much - from what I've read that is the max. Jack gets about 21-24 a day!
I don't give him juice (only on a rare occasion) just water when he is eating and if he's thirsty after running around!

I sort of have the same problem except mine likes juice it's just the water that's the battle. Maddie can polish off 24oz of milk by 11am then I have to listen to her cries of "more milk mommy, more" for the next 8-9hours.

For what it's worth, my ped said he should be getting 24 oz of milk at this age.

You are supposed to use whole milk til 2 for brain development!
I don't think 24oz is a lot.
My DS looovveees water in a straw cup, we discovered that when he wouldn't let go of Miss Bella (chelle) cup!

Yeah, I'd say you're lucky. We have the opposite problem and I'm tired of getting lectured at the ped.

Best way is to role model - DH and I drink a lot of water and seltzer water. Alex wants to drink ANYTHING we drink
