DRINKS!

[nachellebeck]

Milk & watered down juice.
So I picked water & juice as well as milk.

[michelin82]

Milk and water. We have given juice once or twice in constipation situations - but I didn't select that since it's not a "regular" drink for him.

[majwv8]

Pretty much just Milk and Water. One time we were with friends and she was throwing a fit because she wanted to drink the soda, so she got REALLY watered down soda and she thought she was the shit.

[heelibrarian]

thelorax I totally opened this thinking it was a momma drink poll. DD is pretty much all BM, cows milk and water, but she's starting to get obsessed with juice because DS gets it in his lunches 2x a week. She's also stolen sips of DH's coke before.

[subliminalrabbit]

Breastmilk, cow's milk, almond milk, and water. I'll let him try a tiny cup of whatever juice TJ's is sampling when we go shopping there (about once a month), but we don't have it in the house.

[sympkin]

Mostly water, some milk and some almond milk depending on what we have in the house. She's not a big dairy drinker though. Generally yogurt and cheese instead.

[daffy2k]

Cow's milk and water are the usual suspects. She does have pure fruit juice (apple or orange) on occasion (usually watered down to avoid any diaper issues, but so far we've experienced nothing) and this past week she tried some warm caffeine-free herbal tea with honey when she was sick. She really liked it, with or without honey.

G has watered down juice every so often, so I put that as well. DH let him try Coke yesterday from his (DH's) straw cup. Thankfully G hated it. Dh almost became SH there.

[musicalsilver]

Breastmilk at home, cows milk at school, and water. DH gave LO some super diluted tea once, so I voted for that too, but it's not a regular thing. LO just wanted to be like daddy drinking tea. DH also drinks a lot of la croix, so LO has gotten some sips of that. I think it's growing on him. At first he just made terrible faces at it, but now he practically falls over himself to get a sip.

[lizzybizzy]

Water, he refuses to drink milk since we stopped bottles around October. I try to get extra yogurt and cheese in him for calcium. Once in a while he will drink some chocolate milk. At IHOP with grandpa he has some apple juice.

[dmlk413]

Just cow's milk and water. She has gotten pear juice once or twice when she's constipated but that's it.

[lioness13]

I thought this was going to be about alcohol.

[lioness13]

Cows milk, water and juice occasionally. She doesn't like almond milk and can tell even when we mix it with whole milk so we aren't pushing it. We don't drink juice at home so she only gets it at daycare sometimes.

[catalinapink]

Mostly water, milk, BM, and when we go to restaurants I let him have a sip of my tea towards the end of our *meal ( to buy us a few minutes of a happy baby). He also drinks coconut milk. I voted for all of those options.

[coffeebeanfiend]

Cows milk, water, and very watered down juice. She occasionally shares a cup of herbal tea with me

[workinit]

Water and milk only. Milk is only with a meal and water the rest of the day and with snacks. If he is constipated I correct it with more water and more fruit at snacks.

[lingeringwithcoffee]

Breast milk, cows milk, almond milk, water, and the very occasional juice offered at story time and her music class. I have just started offering almond milk because I'm ready to wean, and DD refuses cows milk if I'm around.

[skk]

We do breastmilk, whole milk, and water at home. They get watered down juice at daycare some days, but he's never very interested if we offer it at home.

He's also tried soda before when we weren't watching our cup, but thankfully the fizz surprised him and he didn't like it.

[cl8badb]

Milk and water.
Is tea ok to give? I thought about giving it to J to help him with his cold but i didnt know if it was ok. If it is im gonna let him try some later.
Obviously i wont give him hot tea!

This exactly.

[graceinca]

Cow's milk, heavily diluted juice, certain teas, and water. No almond milk in my house. It's horrible for the environment to produce, and doesn't carry even a fraction of the nutritional benefit of eating actual almonds.

[workinit]

thatblondie you called pop "soda"!!!

I couldn't resist

[sctiger]

She mostly drinks cow's milk and water. She nurses at night still but we are hoping to wean in the next couple of weeks

Y'all are all wrong! It's just all coke. Or soft drinks. No soda or pop for this Texas girl!

I let M have some plain caffeine free herbal tea (what I was drinking specifically was Celestial Seasonings Sleepytime). I don't think it can hurt anything and it was something she would drink warm which to me seems more soothing to a sore throat and cough than her cold water.

I've never had almond milk, but I had no idea that it was so bad for the environment! Off to Google...

[islandgirl14]

Almond milk and water only here!

[amiet79]

DD gets water, cows milk and juice. I feel a little bit guilty that she drinks more juice than DS did at that age, but really when I give her juice, she only has a couple of sips. The rest usually gets spilled on the floor or DS drinks the rest. I don't think she's ever drank a full juice box. Yes, she doesn't get it diluted. When DS was her age he rarely had juice and if he did it was really watered down. Oh well.

[mufflerlove]

Water, BM and cows milk. She's had sips of other things though

Please tell me coconut milk is OK!

I don't know about the environmental impact of coconut milk/coconut water. It's probably fine.

Almond milk is HORRIBLE.  It takes over a gallon of water to grow a single almond. There was an interesting editorial in Mother Jones about this issue recently. I used to purchase almond milk very rarely, but now knowing what I know I never will again.
