She refuses a bottle. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/can-a-baby-drink-too-much-water#post-491752 Wed, 09 Jan 2013 15:28:11 +0000 mrsjazz 491752@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Rainbow Sprinkles: Seems like too much to me, but then again what do I know? Every baby is different. I'd check with your pediatrician. Can you just lower the amount of water you give her in the Zoli Bot and offer her more milk/formula instead if she seems thirsty? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/can-a-baby-drink-too-much-water#post-491738 Wed, 09 Jan 2013 15:23:50 +0000 sarac 491738@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think 16 ounces is ok randomly, though it seems like a lot for an 8 month old. I know that my daughter has always had hungry/thirsty days and less hungry days. I think I'd be fine with it here and there, especially if they were also eating a lot and nursing more. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/can-a-baby-drink-too-much-water#post-491588 Wed, 09 Jan 2013 14:25:20 +0000 Bao 491588@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Rainbow Sprinkles: I think the two sippy cups is fine, 16oz may be a bit much...but you would think she would only drink if she is thirsty. Could you call and ask your pedi to clarify? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/can-a-baby-drink-too-much-water#post-491585 Wed, 09 Jan 2013 14:23:51 +0000 Rainbow Sprinkles 491585@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@NYCaliMama: 16 was just once.</p> <p>Usually she has two sippy cup fulls....about 5 oz each. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/can-a-baby-drink-too-much-water#post-491362 Wed, 09 Jan 2013 13:35:31 +0000 littlek 491362@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have seen the same thing about 4 -6 ozs that @mamajaja posted </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/can-a-baby-drink-too-much-water#post-491246 Wed, 09 Jan 2013 13:08:02 +0000 SAHM0811 491246@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>As long as it doesn't decrease the amount of breastmilk/formula they should be getting, I think it's fine.</p> <p>ETA: just re-read the post. 16oz is a lot though! Hmm maybe limit it a bit here and there... Does it interfere with her appetite for solids or milk? She's probably fine, but maybe she was just super thirsty that one particular day. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/can-a-baby-drink-too-much-water#post-491240 Wed, 09 Jan 2013 13:05:02 +0000 mamajaja 491240@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Our ped told us LO could have up to 6 oz a day when LO was 7 months and that she should be drinking 4-6 o a day after starting solids. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/can-a-baby-drink-too-much-water#post-491214 Wed, 09 Jan 2013 12:58:31 +0000 Rainbow Sprinkles 491214@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>(Maybe a really stupid question)</p> <p>My LO is obsessed with her Zoli Bot and drinks up to 16 ounces of water a day (norm is 10). Is this okay? I am not sure if there is a limit with babies under one year.<br /> She is almost 8 months. </p>
