For now. I hate that it's right before bed so we don't get to brush his teeth again but we're still working on the teeth brushing too.</p> <p>He's 15 mo. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-give-drinks-at-bedtime#post-1450723 Wed, 26 Feb 2014 11:38:27 +0000 LuLu Mom 1450723@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>She has milk before bedtime and then we brush teeth and head to bed. I've been giving her 1/2 full cup of water lately since she has a cough, but normally she doesn't go to bed with anything to drink. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-give-drinks-at-bedtime#post-1450714 Wed, 26 Feb 2014 11:36:41 +0000 BabyBoecksMom 1450714@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, she always has to have a cup of water with her (after we weaned). I'm worried about how to break that habit when we start potty training. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-give-drinks-at-bedtime#post-1450697 Wed, 26 Feb 2014 11:32:31 +0000 Mrsjets 1450697@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>He's had a sippy (now a leak proof straw cup) of water in his crib since we weaned the night time feed at 14 months. Sometimes he drinks a little, sometimes a lot. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-give-drinks-at-bedtime#post-1450685 Wed, 26 Feb 2014 11:28:32 +0000 edelweiss 1450685@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LO is 13.5 months and we recently weaned. after bath i offer him a straw cup of milk to see if he wants any. after that we brush his teeth and i haven't been giving him anything after the teeth brushing (i did for a few weeks but changed the routine and he seems to be fine). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-give-drinks-at-bedtime#post-1450630 Wed, 26 Feb 2014 11:16:06 +0000 Mamaof2 1450630@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>usually 15 mins before bed my kids get a snack and a drink </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-give-drinks-at-bedtime#post-1450621 Wed, 26 Feb 2014 11:13:40 +0000 chopsuey 1450621@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>if she asks for water or something to drink, i'll give it to her.<br /> it usually means she'll get up in the middle of the night to pee, but sometimes she doesn't! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-give-drinks-at-bedtime#post-1450616 Wed, 26 Feb 2014 11:12:09 +0000 autumnlove 1450616@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No, she has never asked for one! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-give-drinks-at-bedtime#post-1450552 Wed, 26 Feb 2014 10:56:37 +0000 autumn865 1450552@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Norah has a sippy of water in her crib at night. Sometimes she hugs it and other times she takes a few sips to self sooth herself back to sleep. It works for us right now but will have to figure things out when we potty train! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-give-drinks-at-bedtime#post-1450542 Wed, 26 Feb 2014 10:54:33 +0000 twinmama 1450542@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>They get water at bedtime, and get pretty much as much as they want. We just give them heavy duty overnight diapers. Their last milk is after dinner an hour or two before bed. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-give-drinks-at-bedtime#post-1450447 Wed, 26 Feb 2014 10:41:31 +0000 Freckles 1450447@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I give her a smoothie (it's just milk with 1/4 banana) before/after bathtime, and we usually bring water upstairs for her. Some days her diaper is full, other days it's pretty dry. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-give-drinks-at-bedtime#post-1450441 Wed, 26 Feb 2014 10:40:39 +0000 Andrea 1450441@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We leave a cup of water on her bedside table to drink if she gets thirsty at night. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-give-drinks-at-bedtime#post-1450436 Wed, 26 Feb 2014 10:40:22 +0000 pinkcupcake 1450436@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope, we usually don't drinks at bedtime (haven't since we cut out the nursing-to-sleep at 16 months) unless she's thirsty and asks for something (rarely). I feel better that way b/c she's brushed her teeth already. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-give-drinks-at-bedtime#post-1450432 Wed, 26 Feb 2014 10:39:58 +0000 mrsjyw 1450432@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We don't usually. Sometimes if we have a long quiet time before or after bath time, I'll give him some water or leftover milk from the day. He's usually not a huge nighttime wetter in general so it hasn't been an issue for us. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-give-drinks-at-bedtime#post-1450423 Wed, 26 Feb 2014 10:38:31 +0000 mediagirl 1450423@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We don't normally. When she weaned, we didn't replace me with anything. The other night she only drank a few sips of milk at dinner so I brought her cup up and gave it to her at book reading time. She drank the entire thing! I'm curious if others offer drinks at bedtime or if you do only in situations like that, when they haven't drank much that evening?</p> <p>Thoughts?</p> <p>Also, surprisingly she didn't leak through her diaper that night, but she came close! </p>
