    Breastfeeding does not need to drink water, and formula-fed people need to drink water.

    In general, infants up to 6 months of age who are exclusively breastfed do not need additional water intake. Breast milk is the ideal food for infants, and exclusive breastfeeding provides all the fluids, energy and nutrients an infant needs up to 6 months of age. No formula can compare to breast milk.

    However, because about 70% of mothers in China are unable to achieve exclusive breastfeeding, the water used to make milk powder has become particularly important, and infants and young children of 3-20 kg need a total water intake of liters per day. After 6 months, babies and toddlers begin to drink water directly in addition to breast milk.

    1. Does a breastfed baby need to drink water?

    Generally speaking, babies under 3 months of age are not well consumed with too much or too little water, because their kidneys are not yet fully functional. If the baby has enough breast milk, the baby does not cry after feeding, and there is no need to feed water. If you notice that your baby is crying and his mouth is dry, he should be properly hydrated.

    So when exactly should you give water to your baby?

    Normally, the baby who eats pure breast milk does not need to be fed water at about six months, because 70% of the components in breast milk are water, and in the case of sufficient breast milk, it means that the baby's body is also full of water. But milk powder babies are different. Although milk powder feeding is made of milk powder and blisters, because the composition of milk powder is somewhat different from breast milk, and it is more hot, water should be given between every two feedings.

    Babies who are exclusively breastfed also need to be fed water in some special circumstances.

    Second, the special situation that needs to be fed water.

    One is when the baby has a cold and fever.

    Due to the weak constitution of children, they often have a small illness of cold and fever. Cold and fever often cause the baby to sweat a lot, sometimes manifested as diarrhea, so at this time the baby lacks more water, the water balance in the body is out of balance, and it is necessary to replenish enough water in time to avoid causing internal disorders in the body.

    The second is when the baby is constipated.

    Baby constipation is common, and there are many reasons for constipation, but by giving your baby plenty of water, you can use water to lubricate the intestines and prevent constipation.

    The third is when the weather is dry and hot.

    In summer, whether it is milk powder feeding or breastfeeding, you need to replenish water, because the weather is hot, the baby sweats more, so you can feed the baby water between two meals, and the amount of water should be determined according to the actual situation of the baby. In addition to warm boiled water, when the baby can add complementary food, you can prepare some carrot water or vegetable water for the baby, so that vitamins can also be supplemented at the same time as replenishing water, but the vegetable water should be boiled and drunk, and it will deteriorate if it is placed for too long.

    When feeding your baby water, be careful not to feed your baby honey-soaked water, and don't add sugar to the water. Although babies will love water every day, honey contains a toxic substance that babies can't digest. And this sweet water will not only not help the baby to replenish water, but may also affect the baby's diet.

    No need to feed water. 1.If exclusively breastfeeding, water is not recommended.

    Because the water in pure breast milk itself reaches 85% 90%, and there is also a difference between foremilk and aftermilk, foremilk is the milk produced early in a lactation process, the color is lighter than that of the aftermilk, the amount produced is relatively thin, it provides a lot of protein, lactose and other nutrients.

    2.Hind milk is the milk produced in the middle and late stages of a breastfeeding process, the color is relatively yellow, contains more closed fat, and can provide more energy, so the foremilk and hind milk can meet the nutritional needs of the baby.

    3.Therefore, breastfeeding has always been promoted, and water and sugar water are not recommended. Routine supplementation of water and glucose is not recommended for breastfed neonates with symptoms of dehydration, as glucose has no effect on jaundice.

    Therefore, the water contained in breast milk itself is enough for the newborn.

    In daily life, the most discussed issue among mothers is parenting. Many of these mothers will ask each other about each other's skills in bringing up their babies, such as whether to give their babies water. So for a 2-month-old baby, do they need to drink water?

    That is, should the two-month-old baby be fed water?

    There has been a lot of debate about whether to feed the baby water, and some people think it is not; Others think they have to give it to their baby. In fact, for two-month-old babies, whether they can be fed water depends on what kind of feeding situation they belong to. If the 2-month-old baby is breastfed, there is no need to feed water separately, because breast milk is high in nutrients and contains sufficient water, and the baby can effectively provide water to his body by drinking breast milk.

    Can babies drink water at two months.

    Although water is colorless and odorless, it does not mean that children can drink water from birth. For babies who are breastfed within 6 months of life, the water in breast milk is sufficient to meet the baby's needs. After 6 months, when the baby gradually adds complementary food, although the complementary food is mainly liquid food at the beginning, but at this time you can let the baby drink water appropriately.

    The situation is very different for artificially fed and mixed-fed babies, as mothers need to be fed plain water between two feeds, and the simple estimation is that the ratio of formula to water per day is about 100:15. Therefore, if the baby is breastfed within 6 months, then there is no need to drink any water, and if it is artificial feeding and mixed feeding, it is necessary to drink more water.

    Contraindications for babies to drink water.

    1. Fruit juice, soy milk, etc. instead of boiled water.

    Fruit juice is high in sugar, which can easily cause tooth decay in children. Soy milk can be drunk in moderation, but if it is used as a substitute for boiled water, drinking too much may cause adverse reactions such as bloating and diarrhea. The drink not only increases the burden on the baby's gastrointestinal tract, but also affects the child's development with pigments and preservatives.

    2. Give the baby pure water and mineral water.

    After purified water is filtered, it contains almost no minerals, which is also not good for the growth and development of the baby. Mineral water is mostly artificially added minerals, if it is indeed pure natural mineral water, you can give your baby some to drink. Repeatedly boiled water has a high concentration of nitrate and nitrite, so it should not be used again.

    3. Drink water before meals and before going to bed.

    Drinking water before meals will cause the baby's gastric juice to be diluted, which is not conducive to food digestion, and the stomach is bulging with water, which will also affect appetite. Drinking too much before going to bed can lead to excessive urination overnight, which can affect the quality of sleep. It is recommended to drink a small amount of water half an hour before meals to increase the secretion of saliva and help digestion; Drink water 1 to 2 hours before bedtime, and remember to let your baby urinate before bedtime.

    4. Drink water after exercise and when sweating.

    This can cause blood concentrations to drop sharply, increase the burden on the heart, and may also cause acute gastric distension. In particular, do not drink ice water, which will damage the baby's delicate gastric mucosa. It is recommended to give the baby a small amount of water first, rest for a while, and then give him an appropriate amount of water.

Babies up to 6 months of age are breastfed and do not need to be fed water if they have enough milk. In the past, there was a vice president of a health center in a certain county, and he was the attending doctor of the obstetrics department, and he once did a program in which the doctor said that exclusively breastfed babies only need to give their children breast milk, and in fact, they do not need to give their babies other foods, including liquid solids and water, except for breast milk. Let's first interpret that breast milk actually contains water, and the water of breast milk can be enough for the baby's metabolism, so in addition to breast milk, the baby does not need to be fed additional water. >>>More
