How many oz fluids does your baby drink a day?

I am not referring just to formula/WCM. With the hot weather, I am just wondering how much fluids your LO is getting. Have your pedis given you any guidelines? Mason has been drinking about 15-20 oz formula, about 3-4 oz WCM, and maybe a few ounces of water on a good day. I am just starting to push the sippy cup more this week, and he knows how to use it, but he doesn't have a lot of interest in drinking throughout the day. Just want to make sure he is well hydrated with an average of 18-25oz fluids daily. He also loves grapes and watermelon, so I figure those have some water content.

    Auden has 3-4 sippies of formula/soy milk a day; about 24 ounces.  He also has a separate sippy that normally gets refilled twice a day with water.

    I feel like a bad mom because I have absolutely no idea. I don't even think I could venture a guess!

    24 oz of formula, and a very minimal amount of water from a sippy. He wants nothing to do with it most days.

    Me neither. He gets 1 bottle with bed and boob on demand and water through out the day

    I'm still nursing about 5 times a day so I don't know how much he's getting.  Lately, I feel like it's not enough.  He loves to eat food now and nursing is just for comfort or a snack. 

     He can use a sippy but prefers a bottle with water.  I've been pushing water a lot over the past few weeks.  I take a bottle or sippy of water everywhere and offer it to him frequently throughout the day.

    She drinks about 20-24 oz of formula a day yet along with 2-3 8 oz. sippies of water.

    The kid would drink all day if I let her. We're working on the formula but there's a lot going on in life right now and I don't want to screw with what works just yet.

    Alexa is still drinking 25ish oz of formula, she just cut back from 30+ over the last week. She rarely drinks water and we haven't started WCM

    Andrew is on about 24-28oz of formula/wcm (we are transitioning WCM).

    I give him a sippy with water during the day and he is not very good at drinking from it.  He rarely goes to it and drinks from it without being cued to do so.

    I tried to transition one bottle to a sippy and its been a no-go so far. Uggghhh..I was hoping the transition would be easier for us.

    our pedi said 24 oz. per day. I dont think DD gets that much. she is mostly nursed and then gets water from sippy. today though whenever I tried to nurse she often pushed me away so maybe she is weaning herself off. which is fine but I wish she would drink more from sippy then
