Mine isn't - I have to remind him to drink so I always am carrying water around. Unless someone gives him juice - then he can't chug the whole thing fast enough!

Every 15 minutes sounds excessive TBH - does he drink like that all day? Is he peeing loads too? Excessive thirst/pee can be a sign of T1 diabetes so could be worth it to check in with the doc. Also could be that he is overly active so very thirsty or eats lots of salty foods?

Mine is! Bobby drinks so much during the day but he is a very active child and we do spend a good portion of the day outside playing/running around so he does get thirsty!

So does bailey! He drinks like a fish...

He might have just reached a growth point maybe?

I would say if that lasted more than a week continuously I would get it checked, otherwise wouldnt be worried...

AJ would drink constantly if I let him.

Phoebe drinks loads, so much in face I have had 2 people comment on it this weekend. She is very active though and is only still when she is asleep.

My lo drinks anywhere between nothing and 12 oz a day. She will generally only drink milk but sometimes will drink water depending on how hot she is.
She would drink gallons of juice but i don't let her have anything other than milk or water except on special occasions.

 

[Mum2b_Claire]

Not a lot. It varies but on average I'd say she has about 600ml of fluid a day (water or milk.)

 

[Lazy Leo]

If she his having a thirsty day my LO can drink 1.5-2litre of diluted squash plus 2-3 cups of milk per day. If she is not so thirsty it's about 1L plus her 2-3 cups of milk.

My niece is 21 months and she's constantly carrying around a drink and drinking. My sister lives in the desert (Phoenix, Arizona) where it's like 120F+ most of the year so she blames it on that so she doesn't get dehydrated. But she has like probably 15 wet nappies a day, if she doesn't change her nappy for like an hour it gets soaked. And she doesn't eat much during the day and I think it's because she's constantly drinking and getting full up on juice. I personally don't think it's "normal" but my LO isn't 2 yet and doesn't drink that much.
