My son drinks a lot during the day and night. It is a problem because he wakes up at night (sometime 3-7 times a night) to drink a bottle of water. I would like to stop the drinking at night routine, but I am scared that he is like me in that regard. I drink a lot as well. At night I can easily go through 2 liters of water or fruit juice. And I know I can't sleep when I'm thirsty (But I have learned how to fall asleep immediately after I've had a drink) . So how much should my 2 year old drink during the day and what time should be his last drink of water and how much water should he drink in one sitting?
In the day, my nephew used to pound liquids. He could drink a full litre in one sitting when he was 2. My sister had him tested and it was all negative, he was just thirsty. But I would get him tested for things such as diabetes, kidney problems, and such just to be sure if you think he is drinking more then average.
