Water consumption, which is a must for life, is of greater importance for children. Although there is a certain amount of water that every child needs and should consume, water needs may vary according to age, gender, weight, height and activity level. Babies and children need almost twice as much water than adults.

We can also set an example for our children in water consumption, which has many important functions such as carrying the nutrients and oxygen we receive to our organs, balancing our body temperature, strengthening metabolism, removing toxins from our body and preventing infection. In order for them to understand the importance of water, we can make them be careful about water consumption by consuming water frequently, and we can explain how important water is for our health.

So how can we understand how much water our child consumes? The easiest way to understand whether water consumption is sufficient or not is to pay attention to how often our child goes to the toilet. The child, who meets the toilet needs every two hours, is consuming enough water. In addition, if the urine is odorless and light colored, this means that it is healthy and has sufficient water in its body.

On the other hand, the fact that babies urinate an average of 7 diapers a day means that there is enough water in their body.
