In a healthy child we suggest to consume as per child thirst. A simple formula for a less than 10kg child is 10ml per kg per day. So that will be roughly 660ml per day for your child. This you can give as water, milk, juice etc.
Next Steps
keep giving liquids in regular intervals

Baby’s usually passing urine 6-8 times a day would be considered adequately hydrated. And if your baby is playful you should relax.
