15 month old significantly reduced fluid intake
Not a medical issue, he’s still peeing, but he’s been constipated and on MiraLAX for months so I’m stressed. Looking for any advice/similar stories. I assume it’s teething related, he’s not sick. He will nurse but I’m not making much anymore.
Things I’ve tried:
- new cups
- offering my cups
- weird vessels like lids of jars, bowls, spoons, etc.
- taking him outside hoping he’ll get hot and want to drink
- adding small amounts of juice
- leaving a cup out for him
- offering the cup every ten minutes or so (he’ll take sips)
- offering in the bath
- praise when he drinks on his own
This has been going on maybe 4-5 days. If this happened for your kid, how long til they started drinking normally again?
