She drinks both well so no need to give her anything worse. Occasionally I will give her a tiny bit of those naked juice bottles, and I will make smoothies sometimes. She does love coconut water- like she's obsessed- so that's a special treat and perfect when I really need her to drink more. </p> <p>I've let her have sips of things like lemonade and vitamin water and then she just keeps asking for more so I just don't let her try it at all. But it's not "off limits" the way coffee or alcohol are. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-beverages-does-your-lo-currently-drink-what-beverages-are-off-limits#post-2370787 Thu, 26 Nov 2015 20:37:30 +0000 Smurfette 2370787@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I can't even count how many times someone asked if she wanted tea today. Um no caffeine for a 2.5 yr old! </p> <p>She drinks milk, water, and juice on occasion. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-beverages-does-your-lo-currently-drink-what-beverages-are-off-limits#post-2370776 Thu, 26 Nov 2015 20:29:56 +0000 hellobeeboston 2370776@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Basically only water at this point, sometimes milk. That's it!! I'd let him drink watered down juice, but he doesn't like it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-beverages-does-your-lo-currently-drink-what-beverages-are-off-limits#post-2370752 Thu, 26 Nov 2015 20:09:05 +0000 AprilFool 2370752@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>She mostly drinks water only.

LO also hates "bubbles" and chocolate, so she won't drink chocolate milk (I would let her), and won't try soda or sparkling water when it's available. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-beverages-does-your-lo-currently-drink-what-beverages-are-off-limits#post-2370614 Thu, 26 Nov 2015 12:14:40 +0000 Bubbles 2370614@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>He drinks mostly milk and water, smoothie quite often, juice occasionally. He has also been drinking hot chocolate recently with DH and I which he loves - I'm not worried about it as it won't be around the house after the festive season! He is not allowed anything caffeinated or anything fizzy. Or alcohol, obvs. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-beverages-does-your-lo-currently-drink-what-beverages-are-off-limits#post-2370593 Thu, 26 Nov 2015 11:30:46 +0000 catomd00 2370593@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>21 month old DD gets milk and water only. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-beverages-does-your-lo-currently-drink-what-beverages-are-off-limits#post-2370577 Thu, 26 Nov 2015 11:08:12 +0000 daniellemybelle 2370577@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LO has milk and water (not very much though) every day. Most days she has juice, usually watered down but not always. I am not psyched about the juice but it keeps her pooping, and if I'm being honest, a juice box is a great bribe in Target.</p> <p>So far she has only had chocolate milk once or twice and we won't make it a regular thing. She's never had soda, coffee or alcohol (obviously) and those will be off limits indefinitely. Maybe non-caffeinated soda for special occasions when she's much older. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-beverages-does-your-lo-currently-drink-what-beverages-are-off-limits#post-2370213 Wed, 25 Nov 2015 20:25:24 +0000 2littlepumpkins 2370213@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I guess I'm the bad mommy in this thread! My 3 year old looooooooooves chocolate milk and juice. And her grandma recently introduced her to strawberry milk. She will now drink more water since she is in preschool and likes her water bottle, and they drink water in preschool. Yay peer pressure! Prior to school we tried to get her back to water but it pretty much always resulted in her not drinking except when she could get it from the water dispenser we have, and even then she would only drink a little before setting it down somewhere and running off. All of these bad drinks started out of desperation when she was sick and it was hot and dry. I don't recommend it though! :P ETA and she'll drink regular milk when we say it has to be some regular milk to help her grow, but she still insists on chocolate milk after the regular milk, and since her baby brother was born it's like "her" thing, so we haven't pushed that issue, just keep trying for more water and less juice/choc milk. But yeah, I hope to not go down that road with baby bro! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-beverages-does-your-lo-currently-drink-what-beverages-are-off-limits#post-2370203 Wed, 25 Nov 2015 20:23:18 +0000 Mrs. Champagne 2370203@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>He loves water and milk.

I try to get her to drink it as much as possible. </p> <p>She'll have watered down juice or Gatorade occasionally as well. </p> <p>Soda is still off limits. I have a really bad addiction to it and want to spare her for as long as possible.</p> <p>What beverages does your LO drink? Anything off limits? </p>
