Can toddler drink too much?

[ilovecaboose]

Ok please tell me if I'm being silly and just looking for something to worry about. BUt my ds (20 months) drinks a lot. We're talking about (in a 24hour period) up to 16 bottles (250mls) and 2 pints out of a glass (5 litres if I've worked it out correctly). Minimum is 10-12 bottles plus one pint out of a glass. I drink up to 4 litres a day but I'm worried that he may be drinking excessively. He wees a lot so its all going through fine and is beginning to be able to control his bladder and can go for up to 2 hours without weeing.

Am I just being silly?

what is he drinking?

Very dilute baby fruit juice (about 1 part juice to 9 or 10 parts water). When we first tried to get him onto bottles this is all he would drink and its kindof continued (bad I know). He won't drink milk at all, but he drinks water out of a glass.

Anyone else got advice?

Ditch the juice and just give him water maybe??

what happens if you dont give it to him?

and can you get him onto lidded cups?

Think I will try getting rid of the juice and see if it makes nay difference. He won't use sippy cups - they really confuse him, but will drink out of a cup/glass like we do.
