Water in bottle vs sippy cup

in Toddlers: 12 - 24 Months

I've posted before how LO doesn't drink enough water in sippy cup- DD is 15 months old- I've gotten creative w her taking sips out of mommy's glass, trying a fun straw, or taking the cap off her own sippy cup- she drinks very minimal-

yesterday we were at the pool- SOOOO hot out- she saw her empty bottle in the cooler- so I filled it w water- she drank like 4 ounces of water-

then again today I offered water in the bottle she drank like 3 ounces

so in ur opinion should I keep offering water in bottle so she drinks it? Or is that going back a step- should I just keep offering it in a sippy cup

    My 13 month old loves drinking water from a camelbak water bottle. Maybe try that? Those have the soft tip that is easy to suck out of.

    She has the nuby sippy cups which are a soft top and a straw cup that I use for smoothies- but I can put water in that too

    DD drinks from a straw in a water bottle- also straw sippy cups.

    If she drinks the water from the water bottle, let her!

    I've seen two versions.

    These or these.  Haven't used myself.  i just give her the bottle, but she drinks well out of a straw cup too.

    I second the camel back.  We got DS a kid size one and pulled the straw out because he prefers to tip it back.  He will drink out a full size one though if we don't have his along.  OTherwise he can drink it out of a regular cup.  I wouldn't go back to the bottle, since your LO is at the age where they should be weaned off.  I've seen kids close to 18 months to 2 years who still need a bottle because their parents never weaned them off it.
