Over Water Consumption

Priya_Mommy · Dec 22, 2009

Dear toddler moms,
My DS is consuming lots of water during day time almost 3 full bottles a day(around 2 lts)
But he dont drink even nights.
Dont know if its over consumption of water, infact during meals time also he drinks lots of water. I am more and more concerned now a days, as his consuming lots. Even I reduced Ghee also in his food, but still drinking water. Is that okay to drink 2 lts throughout the day. Ofcourse he pees every half n hour or hour ........almost 10-15 times a day.
Please suggest me if this is okay or how can I control his water intake.

Hey! How old is your little one? Doctors say that the right amount of water for a child is half his body weight. This ofcourse, is after one year of age. Here is an article that might help you.

I think the best way to make children consume water is to keep them away from juices as long as possible. It happens with me ... I avoid stocking any juice at home ... If any I make fresh milkshakes ..or fresh juices . No packaged ones .
