Default Constant thirst


Lu-lu, have you got your little one's drinking sorted out?

A couple of thoughts I had a

How many calories is she getting per day from food and drink? She may
need more calories than she is getting, and she is trying to get them
in drinks. If that's the case, instead of giving more water, give
full fat milk or even milk with added cream or cocoa or chocolate
syrup or malt. Also good is full fat yoghurt drinks, and sweetened
mango pulp with ice cream (lassi). Or, feed her more easy-to-eat
snacks along with her drink.

If too much of her fluid consumption is plain water, keep an eye out
for water intoxication on the one hand and insufficient electrolytes
on the other.
