Do I need to limit DD's water intake?

[ps4624]

I know that water should be limited for a tiny one because of water intoxication, but my DD is 12 months now and a water fiend. She's still BF, but besides water and BM, we don't give her any liquids (no juice or cows milk). My hubby and I both drink a ton of water, so we think it's a good habit to instill, but just wanted to make sure there are no issues to be concerned with.

Thanks!

As long as, with all fluids, she isn't drinking so much that she replaces food. Since it's winter and therefore more dry, I'd expect her to drink a lot of water or at least to drink it very frequently.

I thought water intoxication was more of an issue with dehydration/rehydration as when a baby/toddler has diarrhea/vomiting and isnt keeping food down. Then its important to give electrolytes and not just water. Like yours, DD (16m) only gets water and BM as fluids (execpt for the chicken broth she got yesterday!) I give her water on demand and offer it to her as well.

ETA: I dont have any good source for why I believe this; its just what I thought.
