Question: How much water should my child drink?

Answer: 
 Fluid requirements are based on your child's body weight. It is recommended that children consume between 50-60 mL/kg of fluids daily. 

Why?

Fluid is essential for maintaining hydration status. Water, milk, juice, and other fluids that do not contain caffeine or alcohol are considered suitable for hydration. However, water should be the primary fluid consumed with milk and juice consumed in moderation.
