Question
My baby is 1 year and 5 months old and loves drinking plain water every day. Is this okay? These days, she wants to drink 200ml of plain water every few hours. Can she do this?
Answer
Based on the situation you described, it is normal for a child over a year old to drink more water. If the home is quite dry or the child sweats a lot, the increased water intake is normal. However, if the child exhibits symptoms such as excessive thirst and urination, increased night-time urination, or weight loss, it is advisable to take them to the hospital for a urine test. These are my suggestions for this issue, and I hope they are helpful to you. Wishing you health!
