Not taking fluids
Hi ladies,
I have always struggled to get Isobel to drink fluids but this week it seems to be getting worse. She usually has each day:
Bf (about 10 mins)
Brekkie: cereal and milk
Lunch: savoury meal and yoghurt - (Has a couple of sips of water from Tommy Tipee beaker, but would probably quite happily go without this)
Mid Afternoon: 5oz formula (but has refused this for the past 2 days)
Tea: savoury meal and fruity dessert (Again just a couple of sips of water from a doidy cup)
Bf (about 10 mins)
I do tend to mix some water into her food just so she's getting a bit of liquid this way.
I'm worrying that she's not getting enough fluid.
Has anyone else had this problem? Do you think it might be worth just trying a few more different beakers and cups?
Thanks Debbie xx
