She only actually drinks the water once in a while. I haven't started it with my second. She never has anything in her bed so I'm worried it would be a distraction and she sleeps fairly well so I don't feel she needs it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-keep-water-in-los-bed#post-2533718 Mon, 25 Apr 2016 15:28:28 +0000 FaithFertility 2533718@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@snowjewelz: I'll try it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-keep-water-in-los-bed#post-2533628 Mon, 25 Apr 2016 13:54:59 +0000 edelweiss 2533628@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>no. he usually asks to have some for bedtime so we keep it in his room, but he has rejected our attempts to leave the actual bottle/cup in his bed. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-keep-water-in-los-bed#post-2533625 Mon, 25 Apr 2016 13:53:06 +0000 psw27 2533625@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No, but LO has never woken up asking for it. He's a pretty deep sleeper most of the time. He is really thirsty when he wakes up though! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-keep-water-in-los-bed#post-2533587 Mon, 25 Apr 2016 13:18:06 +0000 Mrsbells 2533587@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>no otherwise LO will never stop drinking and will keep running to the bathroom </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-keep-water-in-los-bed#post-2533553 Mon, 25 Apr 2016 12:54:31 +0000 snowjewelz 2533553@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@PinkElephant: that's a good point if it will possibly affect potty training later on! also we don't have any leakage issues at all so I wouldn't want to start it, haha.</p> <p>Tho I don't think DD would even remember there's water to get MOTN... I'll prob just keep a sippy cup on the night stand to give to her in the morning. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-keep-water-in-los-bed#post-2533545 Mon, 25 Apr 2016 12:48:37 +0000 PinkElephant 2533545@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@wrkbrk: It's my understanding that water is totally fine.</p> <p>I, however, regret starting the habit of having water in the crib. Both my girls (almost 2 and almost 4) like to drink A LOT at night. It's proving very hard to break the habit of having it there, and isn't helping to get my older daughter out of pull-ups at night. Then again, I wouldn't want to get up and take them water every time they call for it, so it's kind of a pick your poison situation, I think. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-keep-water-in-los-bed#post-2533535 Mon, 25 Apr 2016 12:38:47 +0000 wrkbrk 2533535@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@snowjewelz: I would like to do this when DS is old enough for a straw cup but I have heard leaving a drink in the crib is bad for teeth ... do you think water is an exception though? I bet so?? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-keep-water-in-los-bed#post-2533508 Mon, 25 Apr 2016 12:01:48 +0000 Ajsmommy 2533508@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes. I keep a sippy cup in her crib with water. She uses it pretty frequently too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-keep-water-in-los-bed#post-2533495 Mon, 25 Apr 2016 11:47:33 +0000 peachykeen 2533495@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We don't usually (she's a pretty deep sleeper and I don't think she usually wakes) but she was sick with a fever and possible sore throat this past weekend so I put her Miracle 360 cup in bed with her - no clue whether she drank from it but I felt better knowing she could. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-keep-water-in-los-bed#post-2533482 Mon, 25 Apr 2016 11:31:31 +0000 yin 2533482@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Some nights LO requests a cup of water next to his bed. He usually takes a few sips before he goes to sleep. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-keep-water-in-los-bed#post-2533480 Mon, 25 Apr 2016 11:29:43 +0000 snowjewelz 2533480@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@FaithFertility: I wonder if coconut water would be good for her? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-keep-water-in-los-bed#post-2533469 Mon, 25 Apr 2016 11:06:40 +0000 FaithFertility 2533469@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>All this water talk....G will NOT drink plain water, I cut it with her afternoon milk to get in a few ounces but she apits plain water right out, I've even mixed a little juice no go!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-keep-water-in-los-bed#post-2533468 Mon, 25 Apr 2016 11:05:51 +0000 FaithFertility 2533468@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@oliviaoblivia: Wow, that is awesome!

I have to set alarms to remind myself to drink water. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-keep-water-in-los-bed#post-2533440 Mon, 25 Apr 2016 10:39:45 +0000 snowjewelz 2533440@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@junebugsmama: Hahaha! They know all our tricks! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-keep-water-in-los-bed#post-2533438 Mon, 25 Apr 2016 10:37:37 +0000 MamaG 2533438@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope, I've never put drinks in beds. Our older (4.5y) will take a cup of water to her room when she's got a bad cough (like now), but she won't get up during the night to drink unless I go in and suggest that she take a drink. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-keep-water-in-los-bed#post-2533434 Mon, 25 Apr 2016 10:35:31 +0000 mrsbubbletea 2533434@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>When we night weaned this week, I had water at the bedside that I tried to offer instead, he was like what the hell is that? Even though he loves water normally. haha! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-keep-water-in-los-bed#post-2533423 Mon, 25 Apr 2016 10:20:57 +0000 catomd00 2533423@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yep. She hardly drinks it but one less thing she has to ask for! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-keep-water-in-los-bed#post-2533416 Mon, 25 Apr 2016 10:14:35 +0000 josina 2533416@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't currently but have thought about it. He still gets milk before bed in a sippy, and if he wakes up MOTN I'll get him a cup of water, or I keep a water bottle next to my bed that he'll drink from. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-keep-water-in-los-bed#post-2533399 Mon, 25 Apr 2016 10:01:59 +0000 Mamaof2 2533399@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>When they were in a crib yes - once in a bed they could get up an get it themselves </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-keep-water-in-los-bed#post-2533388 Mon, 25 Apr 2016 09:44:01 +0000 snowjewelz 2533388@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We never felt the need to, but K woke up super early and cranky, and she did mentioned water water at some point (but she was also spewing other nonsense) so we didn't think much of it. When we went downstairs though she went to town with water so then I feel bad! So I'm gonna put a sippy cup in bed with us so she can drink some water first thing in the morning... </p>
