How much water versus milk to do you offer your 1-2 year old? I'm not sure how to vary the liquid she is drinking. My DD is 16 months old and she seems very constipated.

Limited milk to 16oz a day, and water was offered throughout the day in a sippy/straw cup.

milk is only 2x a day and 8 oz each time and many time he doesn't drink it all. Water is just in a water bottle and he drinks it all day long and then a juice here and there.

Milk she drinks 24oz a day. 4 sippy cups in total. She drinks about 24oz or more of water. She loves water but needs her milk fix at specific intervals during the day.

How much water versus milk?

My almost 14 month old drinks 18-20 oz of milk a day and she used to drink water with every meal, but recently she has only been taking a few sips here and there. She doens't drink juice, but she eats alot of fresh fruit, which may help with constipation. DD love watermelon, grapes and blueberries. Have you tried that?

Dd gets 3 7oz bottles of milk a day, she may not take all of it. She gets a sippy with water whenever she wants it but she's not a big drinker. She may have 1-2 cups a day ....prob more like 1

We're lucky if DS drinks 10 oz of milk a day. Recently it's been closer to 6 oz. He drinks water all day long. I've never counted the number of ounces, but it's at least a few cups worth.

DS gets about 18oz of milk a day. He isn't a huge water drinker but I try to always have a sippy of water available to him. He drinks his bottles of milk and has water with his meals.

I fill up my DS sippy cups at meals so that's at least 27 oz of milk right there. Sometimes I'll give him a little more if he wants. He's small so I don't sweat exactly how much he drinks.

In between meals I give him a water sippy, that's out all day for him and I replenish it as needed. I don't measure his water intake.
