Trick question. She shouldn't be, or very little/diluted."</p> <p>My LO sticks with water and almond milk. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-does-your-toddler-drink#post-1985125 Mon, 15 Dec 2014 12:51:42 +0000 Mamasig 1985125@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Mine drinks water, milk, and watered down juice every day.

But he's 4 and I am totally fine with some apple juice once in a while.</p> <p>Oh, I almost forgot he loves the Bolthouse C-something other juice, with mango. He gets it for breakfast on the weekends if he wants it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-does-your-toddler-drink#post-1985042 Mon, 15 Dec 2014 12:25:40 +0000 travellingbee 1985042@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Milk and water mainly.

If we go somewhere "fun" I usually get the Caprice Sun Flavored Water packages, she thinks it is juice, but it has about 1/2 the sugar of normal juice boxes. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-does-your-toddler-drink#post-1985031 Mon, 15 Dec 2014 12:19:16 +0000 BSB 1985031@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Bumping this thread. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-does-your-toddler-drink#post-523694 Thu, 24 Jan 2013 08:03:49 +0000 Sammyfab 523694@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>He gets green juices and green smoothies because he refuses to eat green vegetables.

Though our new rule is no water. He needs all the calories he can get so juice or milk in a sippy. In the long run those are easier to remove from his diet by replacing with water. Though my silly goose loves him some water </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-does-your-toddler-drink#post-523579 Thu, 24 Jan 2013 01:32:33 +0000 Rainbow Sprinkles 523579@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@chopsuey119: that's so awesome!

When he has "juice" it's usually 1/3 pear juice and 2/3 water. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-does-your-toddler-drink#post-523544 Thu, 24 Jan 2013 00:24:01 +0000 Rainbow Sprinkles 523544@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@chopsuey119: I have been meaning to ask you if LO #1 was nursing again now that you have milk cuz I remember she was comfort nursing when you were pg!</p> <p>My LO is 8.5 months (so she isn't a toddler) but she drinks water, breastmilk, and homemade juice (watered down). I usually just do carrots + pear. The only reason she has juice is because she refuses bottles and I want to get more calories in her when I'm at work. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-does-your-toddler-drink#post-523542 Thu, 24 Jan 2013 00:15:47 +0000 sarac 523542@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would literally never give my daughter juice. My husband gives her pulpy orange juice that he buys when he's sick, and I'm just fine with that. He also shares his emergen-c with her when they're both sick. </p> <p>Juice is the worst of both worlds, in my opinion. All the sugar of fruit, with none of the fiber or stomach filling bulk. The nutrients are great, but eating whole fruit is just light years better. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-does-your-toddler-drink#post-523336 Wed, 23 Jan 2013 21:51:29 +0000 Bao 523336@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Bee: I've never heard about a kid liking coffee, that's funny! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-does-your-toddler-drink#post-523304 Wed, 23 Jan 2013 21:36:57 +0000 pelikila 523304@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Only milk and water.

She likes some teas (blueberry tea). On the rare occasion that she does get some juice, we split it half and half with water and she often asks us to "Put more water in it."</p> <p>So, yeah, pretty much water. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-does-your-toddler-drink#post-523267 Wed, 23 Jan 2013 21:14:24 +0000 Andrea 523267@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Just milk and water. She doesn't even like juice. I think it's better to eat fruit, right? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-does-your-toddler-drink#post-523194 Wed, 23 Jan 2013 20:43:17 +0000 mrs. wagon 523194@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>WJ drinks whole milk and water.

The only times she's ever had any juice is mixed with her water to help with constipation.
