Why Is My Son Drinking A Lot During The Day?

Hi, My son Is 2yrs. old and drinks way too much during the day. He used to drink a gallon a day of milk, I started monitoring his intake. Cut back by changing to 2%., but he was still begging for something to drink. So I started watering it down, still begging til it s gone again. So I started given him other drinks. Well he really doesn t care want he is drinking as long as he drinks. He is at 91 % height and weight, he looks perfect in shape for his size. I think their is something I m missing. He is always asking/and getting more. And he is a very healthy eater to. I own a daycare, and we eat very healthy(on food program). He loves all fruits and veg., and meat. I can eat any kind of bread like he has not seen it for a while. Most people would beg for a child who doesn t complain, but it seems unhealthy and i concerned. His Doc says don t worry when he get full he ll stop. I still waiting for that day, and in two wees he ll be 3yrs old. confused in Indaina

Pediatrician 's  Response
Hi, according to me there is nothing to worry. The kid must be too active and hence the requirement for so much liquids. since otherwise he is normal let's not worry too much on this.
