[quote=Anonymous]Do you let her carry a water bottle around all day? If not, this might help. You could even take her to the store to pick out a cool one, telling her it will be just for water! My son has a fancy one from REI with robots on it as well as a cute green sprouts one in his favorite color. He's almost 3 and also doesn't really drink enough. He drinks maybe 4-6oz of milk or water at meals. However, in between meals I give him his water bottle to take around with him while he's playing. We also now let him take it to bed and he'll drink some while falling asleep. One other idea - I know some people find water more refreshing when it's fresh from the fridge. I find it too cold and prefer it at room temperature. She may have a preference. Oh, and one idea to get her to drink more milk (if you want to go that route since she likes it) is to offer her warm milk at snack time - you could add cinnamon on top to make it in, or a drop of vanilla.
