when the water can be given to infants?
Your baby thumb sucking after completion of feeding, breast milk hiccup or less. Should your baby be given extra water?
Scientists from the Johns Hopkins Children's Center in Baltimore, United States reminded the parents not to give water to infants under six months old. Why?
An emergency child of John Hopkins Children's Center, dr. Jennifer Anders, said the baby's immature kidneys or not yet fully developed. Baby kidneys are unable to remove water quickly, causing a heap of water in the body which can harm the baby. Excess water can dissolve the administration of sodium (sodium) in the blood and the body will be removed. Losing sodium can affect brain activity.
Fluids are needed to drink when thirsty baby is breast milk or formula. White baby's water needs are met when the baby actually breastfed or formula-fed. Both types of milk are largely the material is water. However, the formula is not recommended for infants during breastfeeding mothers can still give. Formula feeding the wrong dilution may cause nutritional disorders in infants, good nutrition and malnutrition.
According to Walker, the provision of water for the baby to be avoided, even rich liquid electrolyte that is devoted to babies is also not recommended. It is intended to maintain the balance of body fluids daily.
The reason most doctors do not recommend giving the child to the white water on the baby because the water can easily make the baby's stomach becomes full.
The early symptoms of water intoxication or poisoning the water is irritability (baby whining), drowsiness and other mental changes. Another symptom is a decrease in body temperature (hypothermia), edema or swelling around the face, and seizures.
Parents should consult with a pediatrician in the delivery of water. In certain cases, the provision of water in small amounts may be appropriate. For example in case of constipation and during hot weather. Giving water to infants only allowed one to two ounces (one tablespoon) water at each administration.
Then when the water can be given to infants?
Water can be given to infants, after the age of six (6) months or when the baby has introduced solid foods (complementary foods). Giving a cup of water should be used. Cup is the best option rather than a pacifier / bottle. This is because, when granting a drink with a pacifier / bottle causing the baby can receive too much water.
