Most caregivers feel quite embarrassed regarding the introduction of perishable foods into their newborn’s life. For example, there are many things that need to be considered before introducing a composition to a newborn’s menu. Before choosing something for your baby, you need to consider safety, time, and food possibilities. When making your choice, you need to follow a few lines. Failure to consider certain baggage can cause problems with water.
When watering a baby
You are not obligated to water your baby until he is at least 6 months old. This is primarily because he removes all water from breast milk at that age. If not breastfed, bottle feeding will help keep him hydrated; at 6 months he can take sips of water when full. Be careful not to overcompensate, as that can lead to abdominal pain. If he is 1 year old you can water him more regularly.
Why is it dangerous to water before 6 months?
You already have an idea when you have to water your baby, but you may be wondering why you wouldn’t water a child under 6 months of age. The very big problem is that water satisfies hunger and does not feed the child enough calories. If your baby is not yet 6 months old, he may not get the amount of food he needs from his food if you are still sowing water. This could lead to weight loss. Also, if you maintain this routine for an extended period of time, you may notice a decrease in milk supply.
It should be considered that watering before 6 months can lead to oral intoxication. This affects the balance of electrolytes in the body. These electrolytes are diluted in the bloodstream and affect normal bodily functions. If you notice that the baby is confused, irritable or sleepy with facial swelling and low body temperature, this may indicate the child is underwater.
Safety Guidelines for Watering Your Baby
Knowing when to water your baby is important, but knowing how to do it is also important. Here are a number of things you must take into consideration
- Do not add water to stretched breast milk or cow’s milk. If using bottle feed, mix according to package directions. Always be sure not to add extra water. It is better to saturate breast milk “at all costs” than anything else to prevent sodium and water imbalances.
- If they eat a multi-course dinner, do not give them extra water. You may wonder if your angel doesn’t drink enough water, but I doubt that vegetables, fruits, and purees already contain enough water.
- Make sure you have information about the source of the water before you give it to your child. Find out if the municipal water supply contains significant amounts of natural fluoride. You should use water that does not contain fluoride, especially if the municipality’s water supply contains one million (ppm) million particles. If the risk of fluorosis is considered high, it is better to use a ready-made formula. Additionally, you can consider giving your child a fluorescent supplement if the local drinking water contains less than 0.3 ppm.
- Give your own child small sips of water. Limit it to the table. Because it will certainly help reduce the risk of tooth decay in children. Do not give large amounts of water. Do not just give water because it forces your child to eat fewer calories.
- You can give your baby water along with breast milk. Breast milk is a great source of water and calories, so there is no need to give large amounts of water. Nevertheless, water can be given once the baby begins to eat solid foods. In this case, water will certainly help prevent constipation.
Can you give the baby sitter?
Now that you understand when you have to give your baby water, how about juice? It is more important than anything else that you incorporate juice into your angel’s diet. This will fill the baby’s belly immediately and there is no longer room for something more important – milk. Juice contains sugar which can cause diarrhea and abdominal cramps in children. Juice can be taken as soon as the baby begins preparing for fixation. Even during this period you should make sure to give 100% fruit juice without added sugar.
If you decide to give juice, put it in a cup, not in a bottle; do not give more than 4 ounces of juice per day. Make sure to give them snacks and meals so that they do not run out of calories.
