My 14 month old doesn't ask for water
My 14 month old baby never asks for water.
I have to make him drink water every time.
Also he never took any sipper or Sippy cup or glass. He only drinks water with spoon.
How much quantity I should give him each day and when he will show interest in water.
Sometimes I feel he doesn't even feel he is thirsty!!
I always take care of his pee count which I fine till now as I attentively give water to him no matter how he drinks & how much he drinks!!
How should I know that he know what the thirst is & start indicating water sign??

The whole water intake should be around 1 L for this age ..also it will depend on the weight of the child.
Water intake also counts by the water baby eats with food like milk ,soups etc
Health Tips
keep reminding your child for water 3 to 4 times a day.
