Learn How To Keep Your Child Hydrated From The Pediatrician

Every day, we lose body fluids (water and other liquids) in our urine, stool, sweat, and tears. We replace the lost fluids by eating and drinking. But this might not be the process every toddler follows. It becomes important for us as a parent to monitor their fluid intakes to ensure a hydrated toddler. 

Toddlers are the most susceptible group to dehydration as their smaller bodies hold lesser fluid reserves. Is Your Toddler At Risk Of Dehydration?
