How much water does your one-year-old drink?

Question

My son is almost 17 months and I recently tried to switch him to a sippy cup for milk but he refuses to drink it anymore since it’s not in a bottle, so he drinks only water — about 15-20oz a day (I don’t give him juice). I don’t know if that’s enough fluid because when he drank milk he’d have about 10oz water plus about 15oz milk. He wets enough diapers so I’m sure he’s fine but just curious how much other kids his age drink! And if anyone else has a toddler who only drinks water please vote!

Answer

Mine only drinks water, hates milk. I refill his 6-8 oz sippy cups 3 or 4 times a day but they’re not always completely empty. 
They get plenty of water from foods they eat too, don’t worry.
As long as he’s not constipated just follow his lead. I leave his within reach while he’s playing and sometimes he wants it but usually he’s fine with guzzling a cupful just at meals and after playing outside.

Answer

I honestly don’t keep track but I know when he hasn’t had enough because he gets a bit constipated. He drinks about 10-14 oz milk. 4-6 oz pear juice/water and then whatever he wants of h2o. Roughly 10-15 oz if I had to guess. So about 25-35oz fluid a day and then whatever he gets from his food. Some days I offer water in different ways (sips from a regular cup/a cap to his bottle/one of my mugs) plus who knows how much bath water he drinks 🤦🏼‍♀️
