Oh fantastic. It just must be that all the kids I know are small drinkers. Thanks for showing me its normal.]]> Fri, 02 Oct 2009 08:13:18 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=29069&PID=793534&title=water#793534 <![CDATA[Water : Emily drinks heaps of water -...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=29069&PID=793443&title=water#793443 Author: Troods

Emily drinks heaps of water - she's constantly sipping throughout the day and I loose track of how often I top up her water bottle (300ml capacity). She just loves it. Has always loved her water since about 6 months when she would want to sip some water from my cup.

Juice (watered down) is only an occassional rare treat.

When she was your Daniel's age, she was having 3 milk drinks (regular blue top) a day, plus she had her water from her sippy cup which at a guess probably added up to about 500-600 mls a day. So no I don't think he's drinking too much. It's a good habit for them to enjoy their fluids - as they get older and start walking/running/climbing they need the hydration so it's good for them to know when they're thirsty and that they need to drink.]]> Thu, 01 Oct 2009 22:21:02 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=29069&PID=793443&title=water#793443 <![CDATA[Water : Chloe has at least a couple of...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=29069&PID=793439&title=water#793439 Author: LittleBug

Chloe has at least a couple of cups of milk a day, as well as 3-5 cups of water, so it sounds similar to what she is drinking I think.

Although if you have concerns then give your Dr a call, it's an easy test to check for diabetes.]]> Thu, 01 Oct 2009 22:20:25 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=29069&PID=793439&title=water#793439 <![CDATA[Water : Hannah has two x 200mls milk a...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=29069&PID=793322&title=water#793322 Author: BugTeeny

Hannah has two x 200mls milk a day and I'd probably refill her bottle (250ml capacity) at least 3 times a day.

Like others have said, it can't hurt and is a great habit for him to have

The only bummer is the large number of wet nappies ]]> Thu, 01 Oct 2009 20:56:17 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=29069&PID=793322&title=water#793322 <![CDATA[Water : Joel has 2 big bottles of milk...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=29069&PID=793230&title=water#793230 Author: LeahandJoel

Joel has 2 big bottles of milk and a cup of milk with lunch plus nomally goes through 2 bottles of water a day as well and i'm expecting he will drink more still as it warms up.

Diabetes can cause excessive thirst but Jake drinks a huge amount of water and watered down juice during the day and our doc said it was totally fine (she did a diabetes test and was all good) and infact encourage it as a healthy habit. ]]> Thu, 01 Oct 2009 10:31:01 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=29069&PID=792530&title=water#792530 <![CDATA[Water : First - I don&#039;t think you...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=29069&PID=791564&title=water#791564 Author: Caro07

First - I don't think you can give him too much, if he is thirsty he's thirsty There is absolutely no harm in drinking lots of water and milk

I don't really measure how much DS drinks but somedays it is definitely more than others. Some days he sips water all day.

Are you worried that he has something wrong that is causing excessive thirst? I would use your instinct and see your GP if you are worried.]]> Wed, 30 Sep 2009 14:29:23 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=29069&PID=791564&title=water#791564 <![CDATA[Water : nope i dont think so.. :) ]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=29069&PID=791495&title=water#791495 Author: ElfsMum

So do you think this sounds like too much:

He has three BF's a day (don't know how much at each feed obviously)
Then at least three if not four or five cups of water.

I don't give him juice.
I give him the water cause he's always asking for it. ]]> Wed, 30 Sep 2009 12:48:24 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=29069&PID=791385&title=water#791385 <![CDATA[Water : water about 500 mls a day atm.....]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=29069&PID=791330&title=water#791330 Author: ElfsMum
