How much water should a 2-year-old drink per day?

The real reply from the in-app AI advisor

A 2-year-old's daily fluid needs average around 1–1.3 liters. Most of this comes from food and milk/yogurt and other foods. On top of that, the direct water intake should be approximately 500–700 ml (around half a liter), which equals 2–3 small glasses of water in cup measurements. Depending on your child's activity level, temperature, and sweating, this amount may increase slightly. There's no need to force it; if urine color is light yellow and you see an adequate number of wet diapers/wetting throughout the day, fluid balance is fine. We shouldn't expect them to drink a full liter of water on their own—this need is already met through other liquids.
