Lot of parents concerned about how much water a baby or toddler should drink. So lets discuss about such things here.
In general it is not good to feed water to the babies before 6 months. Breast milk and formula provides all the fluids they need. After the introduction of solid foods, water can be added to your baby's diet.
A child between the ages of one and three needs about 1.3 litres of fluids a day. This includes milk, juices, soups, water and other fluid items. Active toddlers need a lot of water to replace the fluid they lose, especially during warm or humid weather.
It is not a good idea to give your child more than the recommended amount of fluids per day. If you do so, it may cut his appetite for solid foods.
