But how many cups of water is my 5 year old supposed to drink per day.?Health Question & Answer
Answers:
Hers is some info you might find handy. It also depends on how active your child is and whether it's hot.
Children 4-8 years
1.7 litres Total water intake per day (including water contained in food)
1.2 litres Water obtained from drinks per day
1 cup is equal to about 240ml, therefore 1.2 litres equals 5.2 cups of water per day.
Hope this is helpful.
