What is the normal amount of water intake for a two-year-old baby?

Patient's question:

I don't know if he has this condition, and his mental state isn't good either. Could you please tell me how much water is considered normal for a two-year-old baby?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, the specific situation varies from person to person. Breastfed babies do not need additional water, and once they start eating solid foods, they will gradually develop a preference for drinking water. So, if they don't like drinking water now, there's no need to worry too much.
Normally, infants and young children have a slightly higher body temperature than adults. The rectal temperature of infants and young children is approximately 37.5 degrees Celsius, with a variation of about 1 degree. The oral temperature of adults and older children is about 36.8 degrees Celsius, with a variation of 0.5 degrees.
