Can you get things to make popsicles? We have some silicone squeeze ones, as well as the kind that are rigid with a plastic stick, and we make them with a bit of juice, or squash, or an electrolyte drink. The popsicle makes it feel like a treat, but it being ice doesn't stop it from being hydrating. Could also get the frubes/store brand yogurt tubes and freeze them and they feel like an ice cream one to them (my 5 year old and the little both love these)
@Rebecca that’s a really good idea thank you!!
@Elizabeth I may have to order some of those, I have got a small weaning one I used to put berries and things in for him to taste so I’ll see if he’ll use that today in the meantime!! Thanks!!
Jelly. It's our secret weapon when the kids are sick. So far no matter how sick they will not refuse jelly
You can give dioralyte in water if absolutely needed but talk to a dr first. Our boy had a bug and was a bit dehydrated afterwards so the dr recommended we use dioralyte. Pharmacist may also be able to advise. Our boy also wouldn’t drink water but he loved the dioralyte
Rooibos tea with honey!
Could you put some apple juice diluted with water in a syringe and give him some every so often?
