    Every first-time mother is nervous and anxious about all parenting knowledge, for fear that if she is not careful, something will happen to her child. In fact, whether it is breastfed, formula-fed or mixed-fed, the baby does not need to be fed water during the confinement period.

    1.Why can't I give water to my baby during confinement?

    This is because babies in confinement can only eat breast milk or formula, 85% of which is water, which is enough for the baby. In addition, there are no nutrients or calories in the water, and additional water can take up the baby's already small stomach capacity, causing the baby to be unable to drink breast milk or formula that can provide nutrients. At the same time, the young baby's kidneys are not fully developed, and drinking too much water will increase the burden on the baby's kidneys, which is very detrimental to the baby's physical development.

    In the hot summer, the baby sweats a lot, the demand for water may increase, mothers can observe the baby's urine volume and color, to determine whether the baby is dehydrated, but the method of replenishing water is not direct water, you can feed the baby breast milk, formula, or let the baby stay in a comfortable environment to avoid the baby sweating. However, if the baby has symptoms such as dehydration, mothers must not be careless, do not blindly replenish water to the baby, must seek medical attention in time, and take care of the baby under the guidance of a doctor.

    2.Since the baby in confinement cannot be fed with water, how old can the baby be fed?

    After the baby reaches 6 months, mothers can properly water their baby. This is because by the time the baby reaches 6 months, the digestive tract and other digestive organs are relatively well developed and can digest a variety of foods other than breast milk. Therefore, you can add complementary food to your baby and feed some water appropriately.

    However, parents should pay attention to the fact that complementary food also contains a certain amount of water, and the baby should be fed an appropriate amount of water.

    3.What kind of water is the best water to use when making formula or feeding water to your baby?

    Whether it is to make formula milk for your baby or feed your baby water, the best choice is plain water, which is affordable and healthy. Some families will use mineral water, and subconsciously think that expensive is good, but in fact, this is very bad for the baby's health. Mineral water contains too much sodium and is rich in minerals, which is difficult for your baby's kidneys to process.

    Having said so much, the summary is one sentence: the baby in the confinement can not be fed water, if it is a milk powder mixed feeding baby, it is best to use boiled water to brew milk powder for the baby, if the baby's body is dehydrated and other abnormal conditions, you must seek medical attention in time. Moms must remember!
