Getting kids to drink water can be a thankless task – they would often rather do anything else.
But the answer could be in foods that contain lots of water.
From 12 months old, try frozen lollies made from plain water or very diluted fruit juice.
For older kids, ramp up fruit intake – particularly juicy fruit, such as watermelon and oranges.
Eating salad, ice cream, jelly and soup are all good sources of water too.
Babies who breastfeed should get all the water they need from breast milk and don not need any extra, the NHS says – but they may want to feed more than normal.
If feeding your baby formula, you can give them a little cooled boiled water as well as their usual feeds.
