The last 3 days Cerys has drunk a massive amount of juice. Yesterday, she went through 6 or 7 large tomme tippee beakers (about 16oz each I think). This is double the normal amount for her. Should I be concerned that something is not quite right? xx

Is she asking for juice or are you replacing it when you notice her cups empty? It could just be habit, but I would just keep an eye on it anyway. It may be the central heating maybe thats causing a dry throat etc (I know ive been the same lately)

Oliver was always a huge drinker and asking for juice..funny enough when I offered water he wasn't so keen

I'd keep an eye on it, if she's still demanding a lot in a week or so and your still worried there's no harm in just nipping to the doc's

I'm replacing it when they're empty but have always done that. not been to hot in the house so think I will deffo keep and eye on her - thanks xx

yeah she maybe has a bit of a sore throat, do her nappies smell ok? (i mean do they smell very wee-y, could be an infection?). maybe you could try refilling them with water instead of juice and see what happens

hmmmmmm I was going to say it seems a lot, but Izzy has at least 4 beakers day of juice, plus a beaker of water at night and she also has a couple of little bottles of Milky (the calcium one)


Izzy is always well hydrated cos her widdle is nearly always clear, and theres been no other things, so for her it seems normal ...but it does seem a big difference to Cerys' nornal amount...


So it could just be a phases that she likes drinking?

mmm yeh her wee has smelt slightly stronger but is not a darker colour. she is weeing loads too obviously because of the amount she's drinking. it did concern me because it was not her normal amount and it changed literally over night xx

I just wanted to add that i am a terrible parent as I have no idea how much fluid Imogen drinks on a daily basis. She asks for it if she wants it but it's always there with meals and I don't take it away if she hasn't finished it after her food.

it does sound quite a noticeable amount though, maybe if its the same tomorrow get to the docs to check for infection? worth asking her if its sore when she wees?

dont think she would know what I meant Mari, if I ask her anything she just yes anyway will see what she's like tomorrow xx

hahaha hmm well ok maybe not a good plan! i guess if shes had loads to drink the past couple of days and her nappy is stinky in the morning you will know somethings not quite right innit

Alfie is the same he drinks a ridiculous amount. If he has a drink he will down it all in seconds and then says "more". He could drink about 4-6 cups on water/juice a day x

Noah will drink loads prob has about 4-5 big beakers full a day plus 2 bottles, i used to drink about 9 pints of fluids a day whilst i was pregnant, i just think shes a thirsty
