Drinks in nursery

[Alicetherabbit]

My dd has just turned 2 and moved to 2-3 year room last week, she's been coming home dehydrated, so I raised it today (amongst other issues) and was told that the children in that room get their own drinks.
Am I being unreasonable to think ajust turned two year old is too young to remember to drink water?
Also shouldn't I have been told this so I can help with transition at home?
Thanks

And I thought it was general advice that restricting fluids in the late afternoon/evening can make bed wetting worse not better?

That’s what I have been told about DS. The only drink we have been told to restrict is black currant (which he doesn’t have anyway)

When I asked urology about how much she just gave the judge by urine advice.

Dietician suggested restricting drinks

Schools bought into the bullshit too. Marketing is incredibly powerful. They also bought into BrainGym and man other since discredited dads.

Bertrand I don't know about advice, but if all DD has between 6.15am and 3.15pm is a few sips of water, she guzzles pints and pints after school and night wets. If she drinks regularly from her water bottle throughout the day, she doesn't drink so much after school and doesn't night wet. I don't restrict anybody's drinking.

It is very hard when you have a child with bowel and continence issues, especially as one of the first pieces of advice revolves around staying well hydrated and having good nutrition. We are at the point of health care professionals talking about fluids via a feeding tube. Obviously before going down this route I would want to know that 'how much water is recommended daily' is well researched and evidence based, but I can't go in flapping an article from Ben Goldacre or an article from the paper.

The test is what comes out! If it’s dark then they need more fluids.

My child has chronic constipation and it started partly because he was not drinking enough. I was advised by a consultant to aim for 1500ml of fluids per day.

My 2yo's nursery has a tray with their own water bottles. There is a laminated picture of themselves on each bottle so they pick up their own... Hopefully. As long as the kids know where the tray of bottles are they're OK.

Now he is 3yo. Their bottles have a unique shape/symbol with their name they learn to recognise. The kids picked it up pretty quickly.

Endless drinks (and snacking) were not a thing when mine were small - or maybe I just didn't notice. Somehow they all grew up healthy.

Either way unless there is a medical issue no child is going to dehydrate without hourly reminders to drink.

No, but it prevents night wetting.

Being reminded to drink occasionally and being offered 2 small nutritious snacks a day is hardly constant drinking and snacking.
