Bed Time Water

I would probably give it to her. My daughter has always had a bottle of water next to her bed, we did it to stop the "I'm thirsty" technique when trying to go to bed. I did worry when we started to potty train her that it would become an issue, but honestly, it didn't. Plus, the novelty of the water wore off within the first week or two and she doesn't drink nearly the amount she did at the beginning. I just use a sports bottle and refill it every few nights.

I wonder why not offer water? Is it a night time potty training issue? My hubby always feels really dehydrated at night. He wakes up often and sips water, usually drinking at least 20 oz each night, if not, more. My kids are the same way. They both crave water at night. So since about the age of two, I have allowed them a cup of water next to their bed (My 3 year old uses a sippy cup at night only and my son uses a straw thermos). Both of my kids night time potty trained rather quickly and I never limited liquids at night. I guess knowing why the pedi said no water at night might change my mind, but I say there are bigger battles in life. Let her have the water. It isn't going to hurt her teeth and it will hydrate her.

My kids have had water in bed since they used a sippy cup (9 mos?) and we fill up one every night for them. It is dry here even with the humidifier. I would ask your pediatrician why not?

When the heat is on and the air is dry, I keep a glass of water next to my side of the bed.
I can get a drink and roll over and get back to sleep without even thinking about it.
A humidifier will help with dry air but I see no problem with a water bottle for during the night.

We all take water to bed with us.

Leave the water bottle. I don't see a problem if it is kept fresh.

We put a humidifier in our daughter's room, but she does have a sippy cup in her bed with her. We started when she got a terrible cold and would wake up begging for water. Much easier to just leave it in her bed.

I'm a little worried about night-time potty training (she wears diapers at bedtime/naptime only), but I figure she'll get the hang of it when she's ready.

Great question - I give my kids their 'last drink of water' before bedtime but I often drink water in the middle of the night so I think it's okay to let her have it. But I'd only fill it about 1/2 or 1/4 full and tell her that is all she gets until morning. I do not think she needs more than that. last night my son wanted 'another' drink of water...and I hate letting him get out of bed and getting it because I fear it will create a way for him to stay up later. So I may adopt this with him (I did this with my 4 year old for awhile, too).

Give her the water. (No idea why a ped would tell you not to.) Whether she drinks water at night or not will have zero effect on when she night-time potty trains. That will happen when her body is physiologically ready. If I'm thirsty at night I drink water, why shouldn't she be able to?
