my son is 2 and a third and has recently started drinking alot. he drinks so much that his nappies fill really quick and then over flow and we get accidents. he drinks fruit squash with no added sugar, or water, he just downs his drink and in 5 mins will want another. all other areas he seems fine. he has had ezcema since he was born, but he's only started drinking alot lately, is it something to be worried about?
I wouldn't worry much but it probably wouldn't hurt if you made mention to his Pedi. A few of my kids went thru the same thing, i remember. i had them checked for juvenille diabetes and a few other things. They are fine. When he wants a drink, distract him with something else. It's almost time for potty training and if he is constantly drinking, it will be hard for you to train him.
Mention it to his Pedi when he goes for his well baby check next time.
