More water

How do you encourage your kiddo to drink more water? My daughter always has water available to her, but isn't drinking enough.

Put a little juice in it šŸ˜¬ my son hates water šŸ˜­

Make sure you are drinking water. Use exaggerated expressions when drinking water. What ever water bottle you use, look for a mini version and let her use it. Also, her water intake may be fine. Remember, certain foods have lots of water. I also remember using my faucet to help. Putting it on the sprinkler function and while washing hands just letting him drink.

@Shanee I'm always drinking water and she loves drinking from my Owala! They don't make a spill proof version, unfortunately.

I offer her a sippy cup of water right when she wakes up and she chugs it and then just keep offering her a water bottle throughout the day especially after sheā€™s been playing for a little while or during snack time. Like @Shanee said you can also keep her hydrated through watermelon, cucumbers, fresh tomatoes, etc

I just got my daughter the smaller version of my owala cup because she is obsessed with mine! She does pretty good with it, not spilling. Iā€™ve let her hold mine while drinking from it so I think thatā€™s helped. Maybe you can have her practice with yours and eventually get her the smaller version

Ok... but they do offer a mini version. Spill proof isn't necessary at almost 2 years old. At this point, i would try an open cup. New things excite our toddlers.

@Hannah is the lid as hard try close as the full-size? She struggles getting it shut again and usually asks for help.

Yeah itā€™s about the same, my daughter usually needs help so I just help her and Iā€™m sure sheā€™ll eventually be able to do it herself
