Daddy & Mummy has been trying all means and ways to encourage ZaC to drink more water as he suffers from constipation. ZaC rejected all the special 'concoctions' of mixing water with apple juice, plum juice and glucose! Next, praising and clapping after each sip of water worked for a while....but ZaC was back to his old ways soon. So, Daddy bought ZaC a water bottle which he picked from Kiddy Palace. The water bottle was the most successful although ZaC was still drinking too little. Daddy & Mummy had to supplement his diet with fruits, vegetables and soup. ZaC's milk powder was changed to a different brand (he doesn't seem to mind at all) and everything is fine now. ZaC's intake of water also increased as he is allowed to take some non-home cooked food. More salty dishes means more water intake!
