How much should drink and what?
The young children don't drink more instinctively when thirsty. Therefore it is very important that we often offer them!
The best drink the clean water! Perhaps the tap water, mineral water or normal baby water. Mineral water from the daily consumption only choose one which calcium or magnesium content does not exceed 20 mg, 1.5 mg of fluoride content of the sodium content is 150 mg / liter.
The high water content foods such as soups, vegetables are eg. cucumbers, tomatoes, fruits of example melon, water also contribute to the household, but not a substitute for water consumed. The latter is also true: the juice does not replace the fruit!
Avoid excessive consumption of fruit juices (up to 1 cup a day), because a lot of sugar and thus contain a lot of calories. When fruit juice is added to select a 100% variation.
The tea preferably added without sugar, it does not get used to the sweet taste of the child. At home you can create lemonade with fresh fruits, sugar free. Teach your child in the water and the natural flavors of love!
Milk, milk drinks we can, in fact, because of the calcium content are crucial for healthy development. It is best to prepare these at home and do not overdo it applied in the sweetening.
Carbonated, sweetened soft drinks, energy drinks at all, do not give your child! To cite just one reason among many others:
The phosphoric acid in them disrupts calcium-phosphorus ratio of the body, the bones and teeth, calcium begin to withdraw from such high consumption leading to osteoporosis.
We need more fluids when sick or feverish child will have to move, but the salt content of foods can affect the daily water needs.
It is best if the child (according to age) by drinking at least 1 to 1.5 litres of water per day. Thus, the breakfast drink and liquor from the dishes together have certainly covered will be your daily needs.
