20 month old not drinking during the day

My little one, who is almost 20 months old, has stopped drinking during the day. She won’t take any kind of drink, whether it’s milk or water or anything else from any type of bottle. I’ve tried tippy cups, 360 cups, a baby bottle with teat, but she’s suddenly not interested. She is otherwise okay in herself and has a good appetite for solids. I’ve managed to get drink into her by offering from an open cup throughout the day and nappies are still wet. I’m not sure if developmental of linked to teething because she will take a bottle or two of milk for bedtime. Anyone else experienced this?

Is she teething at the moment? That could be your answer.

How about making yourself a smoothie with banana, berries and milk and a big straw and sit her in your knee when you drink it. I bet she ends up trying it.

How much milk do you think she's having at bedtime and is she drinking in the night too?

@Becproc23 and if she is teething, what pain relief are you using?
