What to drink?

Question

My lo is a year old and I'm just curious on what I should and should not be giving him to drink? We've quit formula and now on milk and food, but if I give him t ok much milk he gets bad constipated.. And too much water is no good right? He drinks ALOT. And pees as much as an adult would (not even kidding, I can change this kid and within 5 seconds of having a clean diaper he looks like he's gone hours without a butt change. So, what do I give him to drink? I don't want to pack him full of sugars, and people keep telling me tea (unsweet, and decaf) causes low iron. I'm so,sorry, I'm a ftm..

Answer

To help with iron. I would buy dried goji berries. And then let them stay in a cup of boiling water until it cools so it makes a sort of juice and give that to the baby to drink and then chew on the now soft berries.

Answer

My one year old has milk in the morning and at night and water the rest of the day. Those are the only things he drinks. He drinks a ton of water.

Answer

My 2 year old is such a big drinker too. I give him juice but it gets watered down half juice half water. He very ever rarely gets tea. i give him milk but water is the best thing i think if my son keeps it up after hes done had juice and milk he gets ice water and he loves it. I dont believe in them getting a bunch of sugar drinks. I dont wont my son to have stained teeth because of juices and tea.

Answer

You're right-too much water can be dangerous, too much sugar from juices is not good either. And it's not uncommon that too much milk can constipate.  Try adding fiber to his diet to keep him regular. You can try yogurt too, prunes instead of juice, keep limits on his intake of packing foods like bananas, rice, applesauce, toast etc bc those are binding foods. His body and his brain needs the fat in whole milk so I wouldn't cut that out or even cut it down. Instead focus on the other foods he's getting.
