A member asked:

How many ounces a day should my 8 week old baby be taking in to stay hydrated?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Variable: Usually if your baby is wetting 5 or more diapers a day, they are well hydrated. The ounces amount does depend upon each child, but 30- 35 ounces per day is a good ballpark estimate.
