H2O

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.

Re: H2O

  • 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.

  • She drinks about 3 sippy cups (4-6oz each) a day. She would drink milk all day too if I let her!

  • Probably about 2 6oz sippy cups. She still nurses 2-3 times a day so im not worried about her milk intake at this point.

  • 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!

  • 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.

    Then and now. How did my boy get so big? 

  • 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!

  • None :( I offer it all day but he takes a sip and pushes it away.

    I figure he's getting enough in fruit/soups and enough liquids from milk at meals and nursing twice a day.
  • Maybe about 12 oz?

  • I don't know, but it's a lot. She loves water and sips it all day long. It probably totals 12-16 ounces.
  • I would say she drinks 3 6oz sippy's a day give or take.

  • She goes through like 3 16oz cups a day sometimes. She loves her water. 
  • Every morning I fill a sippy cup with water and set it on our end table. When she gets thirsty she will take a drink.

    I'd say she drinks about 2-3 a day.

    She has milk with meals and water with snacks and throughout the day.
  • 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.
