MIO Water enhancer for 1 year old safe?

Question

My 1 and a half year old is stubborn and only will drink juice (diluted) and milk. I can’t convince him to drink much water and I don’t want him over doing the other two. Today I have put a little bit of this in his water to see if he would take to it and he is actually drinking it. There’s no caffeine. But I still wonder if this is actually safe to do once or twice daily for him. Thoughts?

Answer

I would flavor it with lemons or other fruits instead of this

Answer

I’d avoid it. 
I’d cut juice altogether. Cold turkey. 
Keep milk to 16oz a day.
Take babe to go pick out their own special water cup to take everywhere with them. You carry your water bottle everywhere too. Modeling drinking water is so important. Also, cheering your cups to take sips.
You can try adding fruits to the water.

Answer

Oh I would say absolutely not. Not only do they need regular water and it's important for them to drink that these things are not even really safe or healthy for adults never mind a little baby. I think that would be a very bad idea

Answer

I would instead experiment with making your own fruit infused water, you could get your kiddo involved too with putting the fruit in the pitcher which might make him more willing to drink it

Answer

My 3 almost 4 year old use to hate water. All he would drink is diluted apple juice. One night at bedtime I wanted to try something (he always ask for a drink before bed) when he asked for a drink i gave him plain water. I honestly thought he would immediately reject it but surprisingly he didn't. We are working on potty training and we are approaching overnights. So im working on cutting out liquids at a certain time. He eats dinner at 6 and by 8pm he is in bed, so ill give him a half of cup of diluted juice at dinner time and at bed time when he asks for a drink I use to give him a drop of diluted juice and now I just give him water.
