Is my 15-month-old baby drinking too much water?

Excessive water intake in a 15-month-old, especially if there's noticeable thirst despite regular meals and other foods, can be a situation requiring attention. At this age, 4-6 cups per day (approximately 500-800 ml) is a general reference; anything beyond that, particularly waking up at night asking for water, increased urination, unexplained fatigue, or weight loss could be early signs of diabetes or another metabolic condition. Additionally, if your baby is drinking lots of water and also urinating frequently, I recommend consulting your pediatrician and having a simple urine test done (checking for glucose and ketones). According to general pediatric guidelines, if this kind of excessive thirst lasts longer than 1-2 days, it should be evaluated without delay.
