my toddler refuse to drink water

Lately my toddler has been refusing to drink enough water. I've tried offering different cups and reminding them throughout the day, but it's still a struggle. 😔 Has anyone experienced this too? Any tips that worked for your little one?

Hi mummy, my girl went through this phase too around 2 years old, so understandable your frustration! What worked for us was making it fun, like using a cup with her favourite cartoon character or letting her choose her own cup at the store. Also I started adding a slice of fruit like orange or cucumber into the water so got a bit of taste, and sometimes I let her use a small reusable straw bottle since some toddlers just prefer sucking through straw over drinking from cup. Don't stress too much though, as long as they're getting fluids from milk, soup or fruits also can help make up for it lah.
