How much water/juice does you toddler drink?

charliebear · Nov 29th, 2009, 17:50 PM

I was wondering how much your toddler drinks?

AJ seems to drink loads.
He always seems to want a drink and can drink 4+ sippy's of water/juice plus his 2 bottles of milk a day.

Also how much is too much?

Thanks

i dont think there can be "too much" i could be wrong , but better drinking lots than not enough

my lo if given water will drink maybe 2-3 cups, if given squash ( very diluted) he will easily drink 3 maybe 4 . he only has one milk drink (bedtime) unless he has toast for breakfast instead of cereal, then he has one in the morning too..

i wouldnt worry tbh as long as he is weeing it out

I think there can def be too much juice, it's recommended they don't have more than 4oz a day here atleast. Hayden has 1-2 cups of milk, usually 1 cup of rice milk, maybe 1 cup of juice a day but then he has water the rest of the day..probably 1-2 cups in all

there is a too much not just because its juice but diabetes can cause them to drink alot you should mention it to your drs see what they say lilly has lots of drinks she is juice mad..... and cn sometimes have 10 drinks a day but its just her age she likes to do things and she can reach the juice so always gets it out not trying to scare you hun...... just something you should maybe get checked im not sure wether 4+ cups a day classed as too much just ask a health professional they will let you no how much is too much and if its a cause for concern. there are other symptoms too that of course but just a thought if your thinking LO is thirsty all the time. xxx

not sure on what's considered to much. Hannah drinks less than that (though always has plenty of wet diapers). She goes through 3/4 to one 12 ounce sippy cup of water a day and 1.5-2 sippy cups of milk a day (8 ounce cup).

Connor drinks four sippy cups a day. Two cups of milk and two cups of water.

On a day at home, Harry has one flask of pure juice, 2 flasks of cordial and 3 flasks of water and a flask of hot chocolate.
