Newborn drinking water standard table, newborn milk drinking water schedule

The amount of water a newborn drinks in a day.

The baby needs to drink a certain amount of water after birth, but in the early days, due to drinking breast milk and milk powder, most of them are still water-based, that is, they do not need to drink water alone, and they need to replenish water after a few months.

1. The amount of water a newborn drinks a day.

The amount of water that each baby drinks is different, because each baby's physique is different, so the amount of water needed is also different. As long as you feed your baby often, it doesn't matter how much your baby drinks, but it must be plain water, not juice. According to the calculation of each kilogram of body weight per day, the child under the age of 1 year needs about 150 ml of water per kilogram of body weight per day, if the child weighs 4 kg and needs 600 ml of water a day, and then subtracts the amount of milk in one day, assuming 550 ml, then the remaining 50 ml is the water that should be supplemented.

2. Precautions for newborns to drink water.

1. The best drinking water is undoubtedly boiled water, because the microorganisms in boiled water have been killed by high temperature after multi-layer purification, and the calcium and magnesium elements in it are also beneficial to the body. However, it should be noted that boiled water should also be fresh, if the boiled water has been exposed to the air for more than 4 hours, it will lose 70% of its life activity and will not be fresh.

2. The best water temperature for drinking boiled water is 20-25. Studies have found that when boiled boiled water is cooled to 20-25, the biological activity in the water is the most specific, and it is very close to the characteristics of the cell fluid in the baby's body, which can have a good affinity with the cells in the body, and it is easier to penetrate the cell membrane into the cell, promote metabolism and improve the baby's immune function.

3. Do not give the baby too cold or too hot water, both of which will damage the baby's delicate gastric mucosa and affect the baby's gastrointestinal digestion. It is recommended that the temperature of boiled water for babies to drink in summer should be close to room temperature, and it is best to drink about 40 boiled water in winter.

4. Drinking more water can help accelerate metabolism and be beneficial to physical health, but for small babies, drinking water at an inappropriate time will affect the body, such as giving the baby water before eating will dilute the gastric juice, which will not help the digestion of food, but will make the stomach bulge, and the baby has no desire to eat again. Therefore, it is best to drink water to the baby a little earlier, and drink a small amount of water half an hour before the baby to promote saliva secretion and help digest food.

There is no exact amount of water to drink, and the baby should be fed according to his needs. If the baby is fed with milk powder, it is necessary to replenish water in time, otherwise it is likely to be on fire, breastfed babies do not need a lot of water, mainly because the breast milk can meet the baby's need for water, usually must take the child to bask in the sun, more sun, conducive to the body's absorption of calcium, so as to achieve the effect of promoting bone development, usually must pay attention to rest.

1. Breastfeeding.

In principle, newborns who are exclusively breastfed do not need to drink water for the first four months. The World Health Organization (WHO) and the United Nations Children** (UNICEF)** stipulate that an infant who is breastfed exclusively without the addition of other foods and beverages, including water (except medicines, vitamin drops) or tea, is called exclusive breastfeeding.

Note: If the breastfeeding mother is on fire or sick, it is necessary to feed the baby some warm water, and the feeding time is between meals. At the same time, mothers should also pay attention to their diet to be light, so as not to cause discomfort after the baby eats breast milk.

2. Artificial feeding.

If the artificially fed baby has a little dry stool and the baby is a little angry, it is recommended to feed the baby properly between two meals. Because more than 80% of the protein in milk is casein, which has a large molecular weight and is not easy to digest; The lactose content in milk is also less than that in breast milk, which can easily cause constipation in babies, and giving your baby plenty of water is good for relieving constipation.

Note: Pay attention to the amount of water to be fed, at the beginning about 10ml of moxibustion is enough, you can slowly increase the amount of water with the increase of the baby's age.

3. Mixed feeding.

Mixed-fed babies must be fed some plain water appropriately. After the baby has passed 6 months, it is necessary to replenish the appropriate amount of water between meals, which is not only good for the healthy growth of the baby, but also very helpful for the future weaning of the baby.

Precautions for feeding your baby water.

1. Don't feed water when it's time to drink milk Drinking more water helps to accelerate metabolism and is good for health, but for small babies, if the drinking time is not appropriate, it will affect the body, such as feeding water before drinking milk will make the baby drink belly bulging and have no desire to drink milk.

2. Don't drink water 2 hours before going to bed Newborns drinking water before going to bed will increase the frequency of urination, so that not only the baby can't sleep well, but the mother will also be "implicated". Therefore, within 2 hours before bedtime, there is no need to feed the baby with water.

Generally, breastfed babies do not need to drink water, and formula-fed babies must drink water. If it is summer, of course, it is necessary to give the baby more water, sweat a lot in summer to prevent dehydration. However, babies don't like to drink water, if that's the case, you can give your baby juice, however, it's best not to drink juice for babies under 6 months.

Water meters are different for children of different ages. According to the recommendations of the "Dietary Guidelines for Chinese Residents", "Balanced Diet Pagoda for Chinese Preschool Children" and "Dietary Guidelines for Chinese School-age Children", the daily water intake reference values for children under the age of 10 are as follows:

Under 6 months: No additional water is required.

6 months 1 year old: Feed a few mouthfuls of water after each meal of complementary food, hydration + cleaning the mouth 1 3 years old: 600 700ml

3 5 years: 700ml

5 8 years old: 800 1000ml

It is not recommended to drink too much water at one time, and you can drink small amounts of water several times in the morning and afternoon.
