Don’t be anxious, don’t be anxious, in the face of stubborn babies, let’s clarify the following issues first, and then you’ll know how to solve them ~ At what age does a baby need to drink water? First of all, we still have to emphasize an old common sense. Under normal circumstances, unless the child is sick, infants and young children before 6 months of age do not need additional water. Because for babies six months ago, as long as they have a normal amount of milk, most of it is water, which can fully meet the body\’s need for water. Too much extra supplement will only put more burden on the child\’s kidneys. Whether you\’re drinking breast milk or formula milk, it doesn\’t matter. Whether it\’s summer or winter, it doesn\’t matter.

How to make children fall in love with drinking water is the focus today. The following tips are based on the practical experience summarized by me and many friends around me. There are always some that work. 01. Prepare a water cup for your child. The water cup that your child likes is nothing more than the following: the pattern is childish, the color is your favorite, and it is easy to use and easy to drink from. I have never experienced it before, and I actually can’t imagine that a little baby actually has so many water glasses. . . . . . No way, we can only know which one she likes through constant practice. Liuliu From childhood to adulthood, I bought many, many, many cups. Some failed, some only looked at the appearance but failed in the functions, and some were very successful in making her spontaneously ask for water. Therefore, the key is to understand your child and know what she likes so that you can choose the right water cup. 02. Increase the amount of exercise. This is also a very important point I think. Children want to drink water, but they are often thirsty. Increasing the child\’s amount of exercise and letting the child feel the physiological need for water is much more effective than coaxing and persuading the child to drink a few sips. 03. Keep the water cup handy for childrenThe location where it is obtained is actually the same attribute as the first item, which attracts the child\’s attention and makes her pay attention to the water cup, and the probability of drinking water will be much higher. 04. Parents and children drink together. Children’s nature is to imitate. We can toast with her, compete with her on who can drink more, use cartoon images in picture books to stimulate children’s desire to drink water, etc. Teaching by words and deeds can actually show its power in these details. 05. Bring a water cup with your baby when you go out to play. Children like to imitate others. When you go out to play, prepare a water cup. If other children drink water, quickly pass your water cup to them. Generally speaking, they will naturally drink more water. ~ 06. Put some fruit in the plain water. If your child really doesn’t want to drink plain water and has tried all the above methods but still has no solution, you can try adding a little bit of fruit to the plain water to adjust the taste. But this must be the last resort. Use it only when the child is sick and needs to replenish water. Otherwise, the child will not drink water unless it has flavored water. This may be corrected later. The UI is cumbersome. Don’t make these mistakes if you want your children to love drinking water. In addition to the good tips above, you should also be careful not to make mistakes. 01. Do not use fruit juice, juice drinks, milk drinks, etc. to coax children to drink more water. The \”American Academy of Pediatrics Parenting Encyclopedia\” emphasizes: In addition to breast milk and formula milk, water is the healthiest drink. Generally speaking, we all know to avoid giving children juice drinks, milk drinks, etc., because we know that they are full of flavors and preservatives. However, we should also drink less freshly squeezed juice, because giving juice to infants and young children will make them It is easy to become addicted to sweet drinks, which may lead to excessive weight gain. Do not actively provide sugary drinks to your baby, and cultivate a light taste in your baby from an early age, which will be particularly helpful for her dietary structure. 02. It is not advisable to drink a lot of water before meals. One of the most direct effects is that it will affect appetite. Therefore, it is also very important to grasp the time of water supply. 03. Do not drink a lot of water before going to bed, because drinking water will produce a large amount of urine, which will affect the baby\’s sleep quality, easily cause edema, and increase the load on the kidneys. Every baby has different preferences and personalities. Regardless of the cup or the guidance method, you still need to let your baby try it out to find out the way she likes to drink water. As long as the child does not have yellow urine, less urination, constipation, etc., even if the baby does not like to drink water, the mother does not need to be overly anxious. Because you can get water from breast milk or formula milk, soup, fruits and vegetables and other foods. If the baby really doesn’t want to drink and there is no physical problem, it can only mean one problem: she is not thirsty, so don’t force her. Be patient and understand her baby. I believe your baby will fall in love with drinking water~
