Dear parents, As you know milk content 80 percentage of water. At age of 18months according to me Stop milk from morning 8am to 8pm and give semisolid Diet Milk should be given from 8pm to 8am that to not more than 400ml. Change this schedule Baby will start drinking water

Check his urine output..if he passes 6to 7 times in a day then water in his body is sufficient.

Keep an eye on the urine output. If he passes 6 times a day, no need to worry. He is getting enough water. Food also has a water content which is enough. Don't stress over water intake
