She's loving it and I feel good about keeping her hydrated! She actually doesn't even really like most fruit juices (after I was so afraid to give her any because I thought she would never drink plain water). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-give-your-toddler-coconut-water#post-2218566 Thu, 25 Jun 2015 14:28:36 +0000 Mrs. Pen 2218566@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@regberadaisy: I don't even have a favorite brand - I think they all taste the same. Well, my favorite is the one that has the pulp in it too (Taste Nirvana) - but that's not affordable and I can't find it in bulk (It's like $3 a can individually - but they're large cans - like 16 oz I think?)<br /> I think I typically buy Zico - they're probably the most affordable. I don't know the price off the top of my head though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-give-your-toddler-coconut-water#post-2217403 Wed, 24 Jun 2015 15:17:04 +0000 regberadaisy 2217403@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Pen: which brand is your favorite that's also fairly affordable? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-give-your-toddler-coconut-water#post-2217321 Wed, 24 Jun 2015 13:55:07 +0000 Mrs. Pen 2217321@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>our family drinks coconut water fairly regularly - we LOVE it and it's so good for you. We don't buy any that have added sugar, most of the brands I've come across done. I know costco sells several brands in bulk, and none have sugar that I've seen. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-give-your-toddler-coconut-water#post-2217234 Wed, 24 Jun 2015 12:47:20 +0000 birdofafeather 2217234@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@daniellemybelle: @Greentea: sure thing! it feels funny to link it since i *didn't* choose one of the top ones, but it did help me feel better about it! :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-give-your-toddler-coconut-water#post-2217004 Wed, 24 Jun 2015 09:11:36 +0000 Greentea 2217004@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@birdofafeather: thanks for posting that! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-give-your-toddler-coconut-water#post-2216880 Wed, 24 Jun 2015 06:27:58 +0000 daniellemybelle 2216880@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@birdofafeather: Thanks for sharing! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-give-your-toddler-coconut-water#post-2212551 Thu, 18 Jun 2015 17:10:32 +0000 CakeLady 2212551@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DS (12m) really likes it.

We don't always give it to her but I think I would rather have her drinking that than a boxed juice.</p> <p>I also think different brands of coconut water tastes different. There are some I REALLY dont like. trader joe brand is pretty good </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-give-your-toddler-coconut-water#post-2210254 Tue, 16 Jun 2015 14:00:43 +0000 Corduroy 2210254@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Coconut water (without added sugar) is about 5% sugar. Apple juice is about 11% and white grape juice is 16%. I don't feel bad occasionally giving LO coconut water but she doesn't really like it except as popsicles. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-give-your-toddler-coconut-water#post-2210020 Tue, 16 Jun 2015 11:47:02 +0000 daniellemybelle 2210020@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@birdofafeather: Which one is it? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-give-your-toddler-coconut-water#post-2210013 Tue, 16 Jun 2015 11:39:34 +0000 birdofafeather 2210013@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DD has one (2.5) that i researched for DH for electrolytes. i'm fine with it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-give-your-toddler-coconut-water#post-2209975 Tue, 16 Jun 2015 11:19:30 +0000 blackbird 2209975@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>E really liked it. I love it and drink it occasionally. I have a can next to me right now! A cup has 19 grams of sugar...meh. Less than regular juice, though. You can always water it down. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-give-your-toddler-coconut-water#post-2209973 Tue, 16 Jun 2015 11:18:23 +0000 regberadaisy 2209973@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@daniellemybelle: there are different ones. Some are literally just water from a coconut which obviously does have sugar much like other fruits. But it's not added sugar like, say, Juicy Juice! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-give-your-toddler-coconut-water#post-2209965 Tue, 16 Jun 2015 11:14:12 +0000 Mrs. Oatmeal 2209965@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We tried. She had a bad stomach bug this weekend, and it was recommended to rehydrate her. Unfortunately, she told me it was 'disgusting' and wouldn't drink the 'yucky juice'. </p> <p>I think, though it technically is still juice, that it has a lot less sugar and more health benefits than just a regular fruit juice. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-give-your-toddler-coconut-water#post-2209959 Tue, 16 Jun 2015 11:09:23 +0000 daniellemybelle 2209959@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think coconut water tastes like sunscreen but LO had some this weekend and sucked it down! She doesn't do great about drinking water so I am thinking I may offer it to her regularly now to keep her hydrated.</p> <p>The only thing I wonder about is the sugar and if it is similar to giving her another kind of juice. I mean, despite all the health claims, it is still basically fruit juice, right? </p>
