Is Excessive Feeding And Frequent Urination Normal In Infants?
My 19 month old daughter is drinking alot lately, she must drink 6-7 full 9 ounce bottles a day resulting in her wetting her nappies to the point where they're leaking. Is this normal? She also has become quite irritable these last few days, any suggestions?

Hi...as per medical science, this is called polyuria and polydypsia and this is a sign of a disease possibilities called - central or peripheral diabetes insipidus, congenital nephrogenic diabetes insipidus.
I suggest you see your pediatrician and proceed further. Your daughter needs further evaluational.
