I was only skimming and didn't read Angela Alfe's original post thoroughly.  The 
child is 12 mos old, still very interested in breastfeeding, mother wants to 
continue, but is concerned that the number of wet diapers has decreased, and 
wonders whether almond milk and water in an SNS would be a way to get more 
fluids into the child without compromising breastfeeding.

I'd want more information before I was convinced there was even a problem.  I 
would like to know whether there is reason to be concerned about the child's 
growth since mother's new pregnancy, and whether urine output is really 
decreased or if child is consolidating by voiding larger amounts less often.  

Until then I'd advocate a KISS approach (keep it simple, sweetie!) and offer 
the child water by cup whenever solids are given.  Almond milk?  How simple is 
that?
