A member asked:

My toddler, almost 2 yrs, loves drinking water most of the time. she asks for water most of the time and drinks too, more than food. is this normal?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Usually habit: This is usually a combination of "I am the princess and mom will get me drink if I ask" and she drinks a lot and trained her kidneys to get rid of it quick. Giving her less per fill will gradually slow the process.If you cannot slow it down, the doc can check her. There are rare causes of a problem at this age.
