We need to be better at offering lo water at home, we always offer milk... on daycare days she drinks more, maybe a full straw cup? I have no idea... not enough!</p> <p>Coconut water is also helpful w constipation, btw. Lo loves it </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/oz-of-water-per-day#post-2687852 Fri, 27 Jan 2017 05:36:36 +0000 Ms. RV 2687852@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have heard that a good rule of thumb (for LOs and adults) is weight divided by two. So my 24 pounder should technically be drinking at least 12 ounces per day and that is probably about what she drinks. At home we leave a cup of water around and ar daycare both her snacks are accompanied by water. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/oz-of-water-per-day#post-2687848 Fri, 27 Jan 2017 03:14:58 +0000 SugarplumsMom 2687848@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>20 oz on a good day. 96 is insane! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/oz-of-water-per-day#post-2687577 Thu, 26 Jan 2017 17:16:05 +0000 hellobeeboston 2687577@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My 4 yo is obsessed with water, it's the only thing he will drink, which is just lucky for us! He probably has about 50-60oz a day I would guess. I can't believe they said 96!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/oz-of-water-per-day#post-2687574 Thu, 26 Jan 2017 17:10:57 +0000 erinbaderin 2687574@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>What about watermelon? I have no idea how much B drinks but unless he's downing litres at daycare it definitely isn't 96oz. I'm also not drinking that much. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/oz-of-water-per-day#post-2687558 Thu, 26 Jan 2017 16:48:31 +0000 littlejoy 2687558@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I feel like she only drinks about 10-15 ounces of water at home each day ... then I assume she probably drinks about the same at school. So, 30 ounces total?? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/oz-of-water-per-day#post-2687557 Thu, 26 Jan 2017 16:48:03 +0000 Bao 2687557@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mama Bird: she loves celery! Never had a radish </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/oz-of-water-per-day#post-2687554 Thu, 26 Jan 2017 16:47:31 +0000 Bao 2687554@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@raspberries: yeah I know that's why she suggested that but still! There's no way I can get that much in her a day. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/oz-of-water-per-day#post-2687553 Thu, 26 Jan 2017 16:47:18 +0000 Mama Bird 2687553@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Bao: will she eat radish or celery? That's what our doc recommended. It's pretty hard to get a toddler to eat them, but they do help. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/oz-of-water-per-day#post-2687530 Thu, 26 Jan 2017 16:18:11 +0000 wrkbrk 2687530@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Bao: 96!!!!!! DS gets literally zero. He will only drink milk. :sad: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/oz-of-water-per-day#post-2687523 Thu, 26 Jan 2017 16:13:07 +0000 raspberries 2687523@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>That seems crazy! Our pediatrician recommends that the number of glasses of water per day matches the child's age - so a 1 year old should be drinking 1-8 oz glass of water per day, 2 year old should have 2-8 oz glasses (so 16 oz total), etc. By that count, your 4.5 year old should be aiming for 32-40 oz per day. It must be because of the constipation?</p> <p>ETA: This says what I was trying to say a little better, haha: <a href="http://www.choc.org/programs-services/urology/how-much-water-should-my-child-drink/" rel="nofollow">http://www.choc.org/programs-services/urology/how-much-water-should-my-child-drink/</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/oz-of-water-per-day#post-2687511 Thu, 26 Jan 2017 16:02:21 +0000 SweetiePie 2687511@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Uh definitely not 96. Probably 24 on a really good day. He probably has 24-36 oz of milk too.<br /> I'm not good at drinking water and I know it's partly my fault he doesn't have as much as he should. I just forget. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/oz-of-water-per-day#post-2687495 Thu, 26 Jan 2017 15:53:12 +0000 autumnlove 2687495@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Maybe 30 on a good day? 96 seems like a lot. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/oz-of-water-per-day#post-2687494 Thu, 26 Jan 2017 15:53:12 +0000 Bao 2687494@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mama Bird: well I know she's trying to help her with constipation issues but she definitely said 96 oz because I must have given a look or she could see it on my face because she goes "I know"...then I asked for tips on how to get that much in and she said a prize chart. But really that's not going to happen that's way too much </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/oz-of-water-per-day#post-2687490 Thu, 26 Jan 2017 15:51:18 +0000 Mama Bird 2687490@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Whoa, 96? That can't be right, that's like 12 adult glasses! </p> <p>My oldest probably gets 32 oz and he's fine. The baby gets 20-something and it's clearly not enough, she's constipated all the time. I can't get her to drink any more though. We went though this phase with DS too, so I'm waiting until she can understand that her tummy problems will get better if she drinks, and giving her fruits and soup in the meantime. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/oz-of-water-per-day#post-2687472 Thu, 26 Jan 2017 15:43:39 +0000 Bao 2687472@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>How many oz would you guess your LO gets per day, and how old are they?</p> <p>My 4.5 year old has been having some constipation issues so we took her to the doctor and one of the first things the doctor asked was how many oz of water does she drink a day. I had NO idea, would probably sounds terrible. She suggested she get 96 oz a day and I tried to not let my jaw drop. I know she doesn't get anywhere near that. I barely do! </p>
