I'm a mum and came up with a 'genius' water bottle hack to keep my son hydrated throughout the day during the heatwave | The Sun

A MUM has been hailed a genius for sharing her hack to make sure her little one stays hydrated during the heatwave.

But Jaymee-Lea knows all too well how difficult it can be to get your kids to drink water while out in the heatwave.


Taking to TikTok, the mum revealed the savvy trick that has made sure her son drinks enough during the summer months.

And parents can't get over just how simple it is.

The savvy mum shared how she made a fun freezer game for her little boy and it always means he wants his water bottle throughout the day.

Jaymee-Lee said: "Little drink hack for when it is absolutely sweltering outside, get your child's cup and fill it up with water and fill it up to about there, I'm then gonna pop this in the freezer"

She told worried parents that they should find a water bottle with a lid and a straw and top it up with water till it's a third full.

Then she said you should ask your child to put it in the freezer lying on its side and get them excited about what change could happen.

After a few hours, go back to the freezer and take the bottle out to show them that the water is completely frozen.

The angle of the ice means there's a lot of room to add squash.

Then the ice will melt as the day goes on so her son constantly wants to reach for the water bottle.
