Baby H2O2 ingestion: Would discuss with the pediatrician as too much water can dilute sodium and may be sign of diabetes even in infant. Per Institute of Medicine total fluid intake at 1-3 years should be 44 oz.-20% (11 oz) is from food which has moisture so 33 oz liquid. https://www.healthychildren.org/English/healthy-living/nutrition/Pages/Recommended-Drinks-for-Young-Children-Ages-0-5.aspx
