(Maybe a really stupid question)
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.
She is almost 8 months.

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.

As long as it doesn't decrease the amount of breastmilk/formula they should be getting, I think it's fine.
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.

I have seen the same thing about 4 -6 ozs that @mamajaja posted

@NYCaliMama: 16 was just once.
Usually she has two sippy cup fulls....about 5 oz each.
-
@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?

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.

@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?

@mrsjazz: I think I might start offering breastmilk in the bot. She refuses a bottle.
