A member asked:
How much water should be given to one year old baby?

Confusing question: A 1 yo that is breast or formula fed requires no additional water to have balanced and appropriate nutrition. Occasional water supplements may be offered if desired, but these may lead to under-nutrition by removing some of the child's natural feeding drive.

Water: Offer your baby water , whole milk, breast milk if you're still nursing and he/she will decide how much water to drink. There's no "right" amount of water that a 1 year old should drink daily. Juice really isn't needed by kids...It's basically empty calories. It's better to give the kid some fruit. I hope this helps!
