Dear Polka
The best liquids for young children are clean, safe water (boil and cool water that may not be safe), milk, rooibos tea and diluted fruit juice (the latter in small quantities). Don't give young children sweetened cold drinks or diluted squashes as this gets them used to sweetened drinks and can cause undesirable weight gain and tooth decay.
Best regards
