Cold turkey and ear phones. Or a trade, music or a new stuffed animal that she only gets without juice. Big kid taxes.
Personally I just didn’t give in… I mean it is the most simple solution… yes she’ll freak out but no it won’t last forever I promise… milk or water at bed is suggested by doctors and dentists… my daughter wanted juice also and gave me crap when she was little but I told her it’s a small amount of water or nothing… she took nothing at first then started sipping water.
Say no and don’t give in

Start diluting the juice heavily until she’s no longer drinking it at all. Water is so beneficial and will also help reduce any future cavities.

Get the little MIO things and then she can pick out her own flavors and make it fun.

I mean everyone says no but we all know the crazy stress of a lil one freaking out and neither of you need that stress. It’s of those ments of picking your battle. Is it really causing any harm to her or is it just a comfort situation. What I did was just water down juice once she fell asleep I would take it and put it in the fridge. It’s a total comfort thing after awhile she replaced that comfortable item with( my daughter was her blanket, of course the one I hated the most but oh well). Most the time it’s just a soothing comfort thing and thats ok just try redirecting and in time she’ll do it herself. Most people for get that lil ones don’t understand the world and its scary so a comfort thing is nothing wrong. And in the future it helps her with being able to comfort herself in situations in a healthier manner.

Start a routine of having before bed time. Pretends it is a tea party. Then explain to her that she has already had her juice. Make it a fun time. Doesn’t have to be long.
Get the water enhancer flavors. Makes the water taste and look like juice
Water it down, more water than juice then give her to choice, it’ll rot her teeth

Try flavor drops, but still the sugar has long term effects on teeth and gums. It’s expensive…
My water currently tastes like raspberry lemonade
Say no… try to swap the juice with a bottle of water. And only a bottle of water can be taken to bed.
I don’t do drinks in bed.
It’s OK if children freak out. Ignore it. YOU are the parent and SHE is the child. She doesn’t have the capacity to understand the long-term consequences of her actions. NO JUICE IN THE BOTTLE AT BEDTIME. It will rot her teeth. Water is the best option.

Say no and deal with the freak out…
Offer a small amount of juice and when she’s done refill will water, try milk instead with food coloring to make it fun, food coloring in water, fruit inclusions in water, mix fit or other zero calories water flavoring, half water half juice and then taper down, talk to her about it, strike a deal, coconut water is super hydrating and has lots of benefits, one of those fruit and veggie shakes/juice

Plan ahead and discuss that not more liquids are going to bed, they are only for during the day. It helps to get kids involved in a new routine. Ask what they would like to sleep with instead (books or soft toys for example). Take them out shopping to buy the new sleep items. They might still be upset at bed time, but the transition should be easier because they were given choices. You gotta stay firm with your decision and not give in. That only makes it harder
I never let mine have a bottle or a cup going to bed. They could have a drink of their choice before bed, then brush teeth and go to bed.

It’s okay if she’s not keen on it straight away, just keep offering water. Sugary drinks through the night as so bad for teeth
Let her freak out please ! It will only last a week or two and it will be harder on you than you can imagine but her teeth will rot and it will cause so much pain
Can you swap for sugar free Cordial and water?
I heavily dilute it with water and my little one is happy with that
I don’t let her drink too much before bed though otherwise she’ll leak overnight.
Squeeze a little lemon or lime in some water
Flavored water? And even then gradually dilute it until it is straight plain ole water.
I quit letting my daughter take a drink to bed. I dealt with the meltdowns. She done it a few times then was good.

Tell her it’s gonna rot her teeth that’s why your saying no because you love her and you want her to have healthy teeth and no cavities. And if she still freaks out let her and don’t give in.

I have just won this battle with my nearly 2 year old! I brought her her a brand new bottle which she chose and loves… this bottle only has water in it at all times… I have tried everything else like you. … this worked for us. She drinks water most the day now yayy
Just water it down half and half, and keep watering down until it’s practically flavoured water.

It’s hard but just take them away
They will fight it but once they learn the tantrum won’t work baby would eventually stop asking for cup
Make a big deal about her getting her “before bed” juice. Remind her that after a certain time water is always available if she needs it in the middle of the night (and set easy time access cups in the bathroom to back this up) but that we can only have water after bed time
Just take it. Her teeth with start to rot. Don’t keep watering down anything just take it. It will probably be hard for the first week or so but she will get used to it.
Say no, and support her through the ensuing meltdown. You can be a gentle and loving parent and still have boundaries, especially when it concerns their long term health.

I get it’s not as healthy as water but it’s better then no water at all. If she doesn’t like water don’t force her.

compromise. try flavoured water instead.
Water it down little by little each day. If she still carries on, let her. I know we like to gentle parent etc but some kids rule us with tantrums. Mum knows best.

Try sugar free flavored water. Walmart sells little canisters of it in the pop aisle. It comes in different flavors. I drink it all the time. It colors the water so it will look and taste like juice. I save my 2liter pop bottles because each pouch makes 2 liters. There are 6 per canister unless you get the orange flavor… there are only 5 pouches in the orange flavor.

Sugar free water flavored packs
For everyone that saying sugar free juice and flavor packets, those have aspartame. Aspartame is really bad for kids, adults too.
Just start watering it down a little at a time until it’s all water or deal with the tantrum.

You’re honestly just going to have to take it from her and deal with the melt downs. They shouldn’t have anything to drink to go to bed. Sips of water is fine through the night if thirsty but to me needing to suck on like a sippy cup or something to help her sleep is all for comfort.
Mine is like that w chocolate milk

Tell her the dentist told you no juice in bed as her teeth won’t be so healthy
Shouldn’t be going to bed with any drink. Get a drink before bed and then to bed. Never juice. Give water. She don’t want that then she don’t get anything. U can use flavored water to start and dilute it as needed.
