I give my lo water to drink but I wansnt sure if I could offer squash yet.

So as above what do you give your baby to drink

We are currently battling to get LO to drink anything other than milk! I think it's fine to offer diluted squash, as long as it's pure and not from concentrate.

I give squash - well suger free type - just a dribble then 3/4 water and he loves it xx

We only give water and formula. My lo loves drinking water and I can give her a cup and will happily drink it. If I were to give juice I know she would prefer it and would stop drinking water! I wont be offering it until after a year at the very least probably x

^^^ this exactly lol. He enjoys his water and milk so I don't plan on giving him anything else while that continues

Heinz flavoured water (the only that only has fruit in it no sugar)
Apple and blackberry at the moment

she likes it warmed up.

Water & milk. We'r not planning to introduce juices before he goes to school or old enough to ask for it. I mix fresh OJ or mandarin juice with his powdered cereals as he doesnt like to eat cereals with milk & he doesnt like fruits.

My two year old was only ever offered water, and now he wont even try anything else. He only likes water and says he doesnt like anything else apart from milk. Im glad really because it wont harm his teeth.
My eldest (now 6) I gave baby cordials to (yeeeah, i know

), watered down pure orange, and high juice, really weak, and he will drink anything now, but his teeth arnt so great.
We will only offer this baby water. He doesnt need anything else. Its only flavour , they get nothing good from it.

Water and milk. Wouldn't want her having anything else!

Water and sometimes EBM, though he only really drinks water now

Tbh if they're happy with water, I really don't see the point in giving them anything else as long as they are eating well ......

I wondered once about giving him home made juiced fruit/veg heavily diluted but as he eats fairly well I quickly saw there was no point in it. Water's better for them anyway

as i see it, they've got a lifetime to drink juice/pop/whatever else when they can sneak to the shop and get it
