    After the baby is born, just drink milk, not even water. At about half a year old, the baby needs to take in water, and at this time parents should give the baby an appropriate amount of water. However, many inexperienced parents do not know how much water to feed their babies.

    So, how much water do you feed your 6-month-old baby?

    6-month-old babies should drink 80-100 ml of water per day, and parents can divide it into 4-6 feedings. However, parents should not feed their children with water before feeding, otherwise it will dilute the gastric juice, which will affect the baby's digestion and absorption. Usually before the baby is 6 months old, there is no need to feed water, because at this time the baby only needs to absorb the water in the milk.

    However, when the baby has some special circumstances, it is also necessary to feed water.

    Although the baby before 6 months does not need to be fed water, after the child has a cold and fever, because of the increase in body temperature, it will cause the body to lose a lot of water, and the baby is more likely to be dehydrated than adults, so parents should give the child timely hydration. For every 1 degree increase in body temperature, the water in the body will be steamed by 10%, so it is necessary to hydrate when the child has a fever, which can prevent dehydration and also help reduce fever.

    6 months ago, when the baby has diarrhea and vomiting, it will cause the loss of water and electrolytes, if you do not replenish water in time, it is easy to cause dehydration, electrolyte imbalance, etc., and in severe cases, it will also be shock.

    The daily water consumption of the six-month-old baby varies between 60 ml and 80 ml, which is decided according to the baby's addition of complementary food and feeding.

    However, in the case of adding complementary food, you must give your baby some warm water after meals every day to supplement the lack of water in your baby's body. The amount of water the baby drinks every day is also directly related to the amount of activity of the baby, when parents find that the baby sweats more, they must replenish the baby in time to avoid the lack of water in the baby's body.

    Everyone knows that the human body needs to replenish a lot of water every day, but it is very difficult to get a baby to drink water.

    Because the water itself has no taste, babies generally don't like to drink it.

    Some parents think that if the baby does not drink, they cannot force the baby to drink. But that's not true.

    In fact, the amount of water each person drinks is determined according to their actual situation. However, babies are more likely to burn calories and have younger grades. Therefore, a lot of water is needed. Six-month-old babies should be given about 1000 ml of water per day.

    Parents can use a suitable water cup to feed their babies water so that they can develop the habit of drinking water.

    Some babies don't like to drink water, parents want to use milk instead of water, although the nutritional content of milk will be larger, but it is not necessarily a good thing for the baby. The baby only needs to supplement the appropriate amount of nutrients, otherwise the baby drinking too much milk is easy to cause the burden on the kidneys, and some babies who are allergic to milk protein can not use milk instead of water.

    In fact, the nutrient content of fruit juice is much lower than that of fruit, because in the process of making, the vitamins in the fruit will be destroyed. Therefore, fruit juice cannot completely replace water.

    It is recommended that parents try to let their babies drink more plain water, and drink a little juice appropriately.
