I would stop giving her juice altogether and keep offering the water. When she's truly thirsty, she'll drink the water.

We give Erin "water juice", which is either straight up water or water with a few drops of lemon juice in it. Either way, it works. You can fool some of the people some of the time!

I agree and then I'd slowly decrease the juice and up the water until there is only a hint of flavor to the water. Good luck!
