All About IVF
Water is the most essential component for the survival of the human race. We need water in our body at all times to make sure everything works smoothly, and that dehydration is kept at bay. In the case of toddlers, though, things are a bit different. Their main source of fluid intake is milk. Till 3 years of age, milk is the basis of all the nutrients that they secure in the body. So, with milk fulfilling most of their bodily needs, how much water does your child actually need? Let’s find out.
Water Intake requirements for toddlers:
- Some pediatrics recommend that the age of your child in years is the number of cups of water that he needs to drink per day. So, if your child is 2 years old- he needs two cups of water to drink daily.
- This might come around as a very vague estimate of the amount of water that your baby needs. Considering the amount of milk that they consume and also the liquid base of every meal that they eat, there seems to be already enough fluid intake.
- But water, in its original form, is as important for a toddler as-is for a full-grown adult.
- They need it to steer clear of constipation and related problems. Water also helps in regulating their body temperatures as they move around and play.
- The best-stipulated quantity of water intake that should be followed for toddlers is 2-4 cups daily. The limit should roughly be around 32 ounces per day.
Dehydration can be a serious problem in kids. Their stature is small, and thus it is difficult for them to store enough water inside their body. You need to keep track of the amount of water that your baby consumes to keep them healthy.
