After feeding the baby, why drink water?

Because after the baby is born, especially the baby who is exclusively breastfed, all food-milk is sweet. How can a baby who has been fed for six months drink tasteless boiled water? And I am a living example. Later, one month after feeding complementary food, the baby refused to drink water because he was not used to the taste of water, which led to serious constipation for one month in a row. I was really worried to death. Therefore, feeding water to exclusively breastfed babies is not to let them replenish water, but to let them adapt to the taste of water as soon as possible, so as to reduce the difficulty of drinking water after feeding complementary food.

Many people think that drinking milk powder is enough for babies, and there is no need to feed them with extra water. What they don't know is that the moisture in milk may not meet the baby's needs. So when do you need to breastfeed your baby in time? One: Many careful mothers around you will find that every time a baby drinks milk, it won't be long before he wants to drink milk again. This situation shows that the baby is not hungry, but wants to drink water at this time. We can let the baby drink some water and see how the baby reacts. If the baby doesn't want to drink milk after drinking water, it means that the baby is thirsty. Two: Now the weather is getting colder and colder, the air is drier, and some active babies will sweat more. Mothers should pay attention to the baby's skin condition. If the lips are found to be dry, it means that the child is short of water and needs to feed the baby as soon as possible. There is also observing the baby's stool. Once found dry, it is necessary to replenish water in time.

What should novice parents pay attention to when feeding water to their children? 1, it's best not to feed water with a spoon. We can let the children drink the milk from the bottle. If they drink milk powder, they need separate bottles to drink water and milk. 2. For babies over 1 year old, we can drink water from duckbill cups to avoid the baby's dependence on bottles. 3. For babies who drink milk powder, don't rush too thinly when rushing milk powder. We'd better mix according to the correct ratio of milk powder, so as to better dissolve the nutrients of milk powder and promote the absorption of baby's stomach. Therefore, to observe that the baby has the above situation, the mother should supplement the baby with appropriate amount of water in time, which is more conducive to the baby's metabolism and digestion.
