How much fluids does your Lo drink a day?

Olivia drinks 3. 8oz of milk a day and sone sips of water throughout so she is having to pee at least 6 to 8 times a day. So I kinda worry when we are out. Should I lower the fluid intake? Thanks

I do try to ease up on her intake if I can but usually I don't have that much luck! I do things like give her straight water (we usually splash a little juice in there) and only fill half way so she's encouraged to take little sips and not down it like she usually does. I have also given her one of those kidsized juice boxes (I htink they hold like 4ozs?) instead of a whole sippy cup and the novelty of getting to drink like a big girl overrides the fact that she didn't get as much as usual.

So far, in 3wks, we haven't had a single incident while out and about. We bring a travel potty and she does ask to use that from time to time but mostly she really just holds it until we get somewhere. We go for walks around the neighborhood and haven't thought to lug the potty, too, and she has repeatedly been able to hold it all the way home!

ETA: Alaina takes like 2 8oz cups of milk a day and like 5 cups of diluted juice! She's crazy with her intake but it's strange, she'll need to pee less when out of the house than in it. Wierd.
