re: 8 month old and water

Quoting McLeary:“ Dramatic...big difference between a couple of sips and dumping gallon of water into your kid.”

just out of curiosity.... i know you CAN get water poisoning.... but how much would you really have to give a kid to get them sick? and how would you be able to tell they had too much?? my cousin gives her 6 mo old probably 6oz a day, and it didnt seem like a ton to me, kids growing fine, etc, but i wonder where the line is.....

I know for an adult its something like drinking 2-3 gallons of water really fast in under an hour. You almost have to try to kill yourself with water.

kinda what i though   if i ever decided to off myself, it wouldnt be by chugging water... who wants to pee themselves THAT badly when they die???

**off to see if i can find out about it in little ones**
