- A Queensland mum has come up with a genius solution to a parenting problem
- Her son was repeatedly asking for cups of water at night, so she bought an item
- A $5 rabbit feeder attached to his bunk bed seemingly did the trick
- Plenty of Australian parents have agreed it’s a clever solution long term
An Australian mum has invented a ‘genius’ solution to a common parenting problem involving children asking for cups of water in the middle of the night.
The Queensland woman posted to Facebook group Mum Central with her hilarious ‘hack’ for satiating the thirst of her young son of an evening: a rabbit feeder.
She attached the $5 device to the side of the bottom bunk bed so he can simply sip away from his position in bed without any need to get up.

‘Got tired of my kid calling out all through the night for drinks. Boom. Best $5 I ever spent,’ she said.
The drink bottle is most commonly attached to the side of a rabbit hutch for the animals to slowly sip on without spilling droplets all over the cage.
There were plenty of parents willing to give the token feeding device a try to save them some extra sleep.
‘This is an absolute game changer for sure,’ one dad wrote.
‘I can just top this up with milk for the baby, right?’ Said another.
But not everyone was sold on the idea, mainly because some saw it as a potential hazard that would only lead to further nightly disturbances.
‘Until they poke their eye out on the steel spout. Better to have one with a soft silicone spout or maybe a normal water bottle??? $3 for a non spill one from Kmart,’ said one woman.
‘Eww… where does the water go? On the floor? On the bed? Got enough messes at my house to clean up… it will leak,’ said another.
