How much water is your LO drinking? DS rarely wants water, I usually try to offer it at least 3 times a day most of the time he throws his sippy cup and screams until I give him milk. He would drink milk all day everyday if I let him.
None. "> He used to drink a ton while i was still breastfeeding, but now i feel like i am always trying to get enough milk in him, so he never drinks water. He is starting to do better with the milk now though, so I should start introducing more water again. He loves it.
I am not entirely sure how much she drinks. I have her water cup available all day long and she can drink whenever she wants. I offer her milk at meal/snack times. She is still nursing 2 times a day so I know she's getting liquid then too!

DD born 8/13 Perfect in every way!!
I have no idea. He always has a straw cup of water going. We're still nursing so I only offer WCM at meals and he has water the rest of the time. I think as long as he's peeing, you're probably fine. His doc said he will drink when he's thirsty, like us.
DD drinks a ton of water - probably 4 sippy cups per day full? We also put in a splash of juice. She has been boycotting milk, though, so that's the only hydration she's getting other than a bottle of rice milk before bed. She is a great solid food eater, so our pediatrician said it was OK that she's not drinking much milk. We're trying to get her plenty of cheese and yogurt.
I get dehydrated really easily and drink a ton of water, and also didn't drink milk as a kid, so we have that in common...

Ds doesn't really like water unless there is a small amount of juice in it, if not then its going to be on the floor. I don't really worry about him getting enough liquids though because he will drink 3-4 sippys of milk if I let him!

I don't measure how much water B drinks so I'm not sure. I give him a sippy of water thats available to him all day and if its getting low, I refill it. He definitely drinks more water than milk though.

I figure he's getting enough in fruit/soups and enough liquids from milk at meals and nursing twice a day.
I'd say she drinks about 2-3 a day.
She has milk with meals and water with snacks and throughout the day.
