[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]if your kid is ok with it and drinks regularly, thats fine. My daughter also like to chew on her water bottles spouts and straws of her other bottles and it was because of those camelbak type straws she has at my MIL's.

She's 8 and my MIL keeps using them because her other neice is slightly older and they keep leaving their water bottles there. I have provided our own water bottles but it just never gets used.

And so my kid uses that camelbak bottle while at my MILs and I can imagine that same bottle is shared by my other niece when she is there! (Because it was originally hers). Its ewww but we have no choice because we too need the childcare and not kicking up a fuss.

Anyway, we pick our battles but I can understand the confusion for the kid and OPs concern. If the kid keeps using sippy cups, then they might also keep chewing on their own regular water bottle spouts etc. So we adapt by getting regular school bottles to not be spouts, straws or something so chewable. So no stanley, no thermoflask straws. Just regular water bottles.

I agree EWWW.  No issues with having to share over there.  Hers are regular toddler sippy cups with spouts.  No straws or anything either.  I would be very uncomfortable with the niece sharing the water bottle as well.[/quote]
