Guest Posted January 22, 2008 Share Posted January 22, 2008 I apologise if this has been discussed before - infact I think I may have even asked this question before - so sorry All of my over 1 rooms have free access to drinking water throughout the day. The ones select their beaker from a table, and the 2-5s pour out their own drinks. What do you do for the children aged 3 months to 1? They are offered drinking water throughout the day - but I don't think it is often enough, and I don't think that staff think about it unless a baby is crying or having a snack or a meal. Any creative or simple ideas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted January 26, 2008 Share Posted January 26, 2008 im starting as unitleader of a baby room soon and this is something that im thinking of too. the only thing is having all of the babies bottles/beakers in a tray within the room so that staff can physically see them and remind themselves to offer the child a drink. post back if you have any other ideas x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rea Posted January 26, 2008 Share Posted January 26, 2008 Do your staff have access to drinking water in the rooms? If so watch how often they drink compared to how often they offer drink to the babies. It might just make them realise Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
