Dr Phil Kieran: My child refuses to drink water in winter, I'm worried about dehydration

The food you consume also contributes to your overall fluid intake. This is particularly relevant if your child likes to eat a diet with a decent amount of fresh fruit, berries or water-containing vegetables

Dr Phil Kieran: You could encourage your child to eat more high-water content fruits like oranges and pears or vegetables such as cucumber, lettuce, and tomatoes to ensure sufficient fluid intake

My six-year-old daughter doesn't like to drink water or milk in the winter, saying they are too cold. I'm worried about her becoming dehydrated. What would you suggest and how much liquid should she be consuming daily?

Hydration can be a struggle with kids and it's something I talk to parents a lot about in my practice.
