What is the best Cordial to give my 14 month old DD?

She won't drink water by itself. I usually buy her the golden circle junior fruit drink with no added sugar and 1/3 diluted but these are so expensive.

Is there anything else out there that I can give her? I'm very concerned about her teeth so I don't want anything with much sugar in.

Andrew drinks mostly water, some cows milk, but for something different I might give him a few drops of orange juice in water. Its just enough to change the flavour.

This sounds weird but I used to put vegemite in DD1's water to get her to drink it. Just a tiny bit stirred through, she loved it!!

I only ever give my bubs diluted baby juices and then I dilute them some more. Now that DD1 is oldr she gets more exciting things but DD2 is happy with her (very) watery juice. I get the heinz baby juice (1L) and then mix it with 2 litres of water and hey presto - Juice for a week or more!!

You can just use diluted juice off the shelves from the juice aisle. They should have a no added sugar variety there

I basically do the same as schmell....dilute the already diluted baby juice. Gives you 3 times as much then! DD1 also gets some Ribena, just enough to colour it, for something different.

I've also been buying the V8 juice, and diluting it....its all veges and fruit, so extra nutrition at the same time as a drink! You could probably give it straight, but it tastes really sweet, sometimes i even add a dash of water for mine too!
