How can I get my daughter to drink regular water? She loves water but if it's flavored. What's the best way to switch?

I feel like she is getting to much RED 40 and I want to see if I can limit it as much as possible and see if her crazy behaviors stop. Like not paying attention, banging her head, anger episodes, sleeping difficulty.

Any info you have would be great thanks :)

Sometimes just adding ice to their water in a sippy cup can be enough, they like to be able to shake it and make a sound :) Water is mainly the only drink my daughter gets.

Add fresh fruits to her water, like frozen raspberries or strawberries @coryellemg3

I wouldn't give her sugar free because any diet drinks are bad for babies and kids, but 100% apple juice like the Juicy Juice brand doesn't add sugar to their juice. There's just the naturally occurring sugar from the apples.

@Sarahemccormick, Thanks. I didn't realize it was even an issue till my good friend mentioned it. I finally got her off of drinking milk 24/7. And now she only wants flavored water. I thought as long as r didn't have sugar it was safe. But I'll try that! Is there any sugar free 100% Apple juices?

Also, Red 40 can cause ADHD and Autism as well, according to studies, so be careful

Yes, Red 40 is bad news for children. I'd suggest mixing 100% apple juice with water as a flavor and then putting less and less in the water until it's pure water. She will adjust great that way.

is it wrong to be frustrated that my daughter acts like she can't do certain things with out my help. she plays dumb a lot and I wish I could be like no girl show what you know. she acts like she can't trace or match shapes so shes ask for "mommy finger" to help her so I barely hold her hand and she magically can do it but if I dont hold her hand she just scribbles and acts like she doesnt know the pic is how she traces when I'm "helping her" otherwise it'll just be scribbles all over the page

I need help with my dog! She got off her chain today and when she came back she had a huge gash on her inner thigh of her back leg. It is bloody and super gross. You can see the meat in her thigh. Nobody can get her in tonight and the places that can first thing tomorrow want like $1000. I don’t have that kind of money, at all! What can I do for her? *picture in comments*

⚠ ⚠ ⚠ Emergency ⚠ ⚠ ⚠ I need help . My baby is 9 months old she has had a constipation problem since she was a baby she can not poop she tries and tries pushes and pushes , I can see how much it hurts her I have taken her to the ER today but what they did to her didn't help she hasn't pooped since we came back and when she pooped there it was hard ! I want to take her again but she's not in pain unless she's trying to poop . Is there a way I can register her to the hospital for them to see her ? I feel like taking her to the ER is if she's in pain and they won't do anything for her I want her to get seen and for her to be taken seriously . It hurts me she's my baby and it hurts me to see her hurting because of the poop. ;(
