A. Give small frequent sips of water Can add a small quantity of lemon juice and sugar for taste Bring attractive sippers and glasses motivate and praise Keep giving small frequent sips of water to avoid dehydration

A. Hi! Many children initially hesitate to drink plain water. Instead of giving plain water every time give fluids in form of coconut water, natural home made fruit juice etc. With time your child will take plain water. Avoid adding sugar alone to plain water instead can give lemon juice with some sugar. Thanks.

A. yes water is required to maintain hydaration in child..but u have to boil the water...and you can add sweet sugar punch of salt and small lemon drops...it is good balanced drink...and it prevents dehydration also
