Hollie has Juice when she is ill as she get dehydrated and wont take water Or if she get all hot and bothered when she is playing i usually do one oz pure fruit juice, orange or apple mixed with 4 oz water she takes that. Sometimes she can be funny though, one day she is happy to drink from a normal cup or her sippy straw cup but when she is Ill she will only drink from a bottle and I let her I rather her be hydrated drinking from a bottle than dehydrated and in hospital no matter what the darn HV say's.

no he eats what i eat really..
What did your child eat today?
I shall find out when i pick him up from daycare!
He had a banana this morning and 5oz milk on the way to school, he will have 5oz when i go pick him up and ill probably do chicken pie + veg for tea though.

Oh and riley has had juice from about 10 months, firstly baby juice till 13 months then flavoured water.. i mainly started because he gets chest infections every 4/6 weeks and wouldnt eat so my gp said he must keep hydrated and refused water so juice it was.. he drinks water at daycare though.

What foods do you define as a 'treat'?
chocolate, cake, crisps etc.
How often do you give them?
couple of times a week maybe? She figured out which cupboard we keep nice food in so we had a couple of weeks where whenever we'd go in the kitchen she'd point and shout 'cakeyyyyyy!' so we had to go cold turkey for a bit so she forgot...
Do you give a homecooked meal at least once a day?
yes every day, she eats what we eat for dinner.
Do you ever give ready meals?
no, used to give pouches when she was younger but she literally refuses them now
What did your child eat today?
apple and banana porridge with yoghurt and half a banana for breakfast, having lunch at nursery, think it's sausage and onion pasta? and we'll have baked potato with tuna and cheese for tea (I will put salad on her plate but she'll probably lick at it and look at me like I'm trying to poison her...).
