Susie in SWVA Posted August 16, 2011 Share Posted August 16, 2011 Hello, ladies. I need some advice. My five year old grandson is visiting for a few days and I can't get him to drink anything. He didn't drink anything yesterday except for two small sips of water at bedtime. Today he would only drink about 1/2 inch of apple juice, if that much. He is eating just fine (for him) and I am going to tempt him with a smoothie for lunch. Any tips? My husband and I are very careful about our water intake, so his lack of it is very obvious in our household. I have five children and never had this issue before! Thank you.

Onceuponatime Posted August 16, 2011 Share Posted August 16, 2011 Give him high water content foods like melon or soup. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Susie in SWVA Posted August 16, 2011 Author Share Posted August 16, 2011 He did have melon with his lunch and half a fresh peach with his supper last night, so that makes me feel better. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Susie in SWVA Posted August 16, 2011 Author Share Posted August 16, 2011 Popsicles. Good ideas. I knew you ladies would come through. My grandmother brain has forgotten all the tricks. Guess I need to relearn them all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
