Can a 3 year old drink too much?

My ds drinks and drinks all day.
Not at night.
His wee is generally completely clear.

Is it bad for him to drink so much?

Is he sipping at water all day? Or glugging great glassfuls? How much?

Always being thirsty can be a sign of diabetis so if you were worried then ask a doctor to check for that but I don't know if they could drink too much

wht is it he is drinking?

Drinking full (child size) cups. He seems obsessed with having a drink rather than thirsty - doesn't ask for drinks when we are out etc.

perhaps the lemon squahs is makign him thirsty?

leoleosuperstar · 21/02/2009 15:47

Oh yes maybe never thought of that - or he loves it too much.
Might put it away and use the orange instead.

I don't think he is thirsty due to illness otherwise he would be the same all the time.

Just wondering if you can drink too much.
