Ways To Keep Toddlers Hydrated
How can you keep your crawling, climbing, running, messing little stay hydrated in these hot summer days? If your toddler is sick, then the condition will be more difficult. You have many choices around you to keep your toddler hydrated. You can opt for water, fruit juices, decaffeinated tea, milk, fruits and soups. But, the difficult thing is to find out what will work for your little one. The taste choice of each toddler differs and they will co-operate with you in drinking what you offer only if they like it.
The amount of water your toddler has to take daily depends on their age, weight and activity. Most experts suggest that toddlers need as many as four or five cups of fluid a day. It’s summer and you have to watch for dehydration signs in your toddler. They include less urination, less active, sleeplessness, dry skin and lips, fussiness and irritation.
In the present scenario, when parents are working leaving their toddler with a caretaker, the risks are more as you are not sure whether your little one is drinking enough water. If you are not winning to make your toddler drinking water, here are some easy tips that will help you to keep your toddler hydrated.
Keep it easily accessible: It is a good idea to keep some water in bottles with straw in easily accessible places. This will help your toddler to drink water when he actually needs it. Apart from these, most toddlers love experimenting when they are not forced to do anything.
