Although drinking more water is good, it is generally best to drink eight glasses of water every day. However, as we all know, adults are not suitable to drink more water after 8 pm because drinking water after this time may cause swelling the next day. So is the same for babies? Let's take a look with the editor and see if it's good to give babies water in the middle of the night.
Can you give your baby water in the middle of the night
Of course, it's good for babies to drink. Drinking water can replenish the necessary water in the body, help with digestion, and cleanse the intestines and stomach. But drinking water for the baby in the middle of the night is not very good, as it increases the burden on the baby's kidneys. Drinking water will produce a large amount of urine, increase the frequency of bedwetting, and affect the quality of baby's sleep. You can put an air humidifier in the room, and it is best to give the baby hot water to drink when they wake up in the morning, which can clean the intestines and stomach. This is better for the baby. If the baby needs to drink water in the middle of the night, it is mostly due to internal heat, and dietary therapy can be considered to reduce internal heat. Boil pears in sugar water and eat their juicy meat. Eat more green vegetables, such as carrots, green vegetables, etc. Eat more fruits with high water content, such as oranges, watermelons, peaches, etc.
What water is good for babies to drink
1. The most suitable water for babies is plain water, and the most economical and practical children's beverage is undoubtedly plain water. Because pure plain water is the easiest to quench thirst, it is the easiest to penetrate cell membranes after entering the body, promote metabolism, regulate body temperature, transport nutrients, and clean up the "garbage" inside the body. Scientific research has found that naturally cooled boiled boiled boiled boiled water can increase the hemoglobin content in blood transfusions, enhance immune function, and improve the body's ability to resist diseases; People who are accustomed to drinking cold water have high dehydrogenase activity in their bodies, less lactate accumulation in their muscles, and are less likely to experience fatigue.
2. Drinking plain water also requires knowledge. Cool water that has been boiled and cooled for 4-6 hours is the most ideal drinking water. Long term storage and repeated pouring of cold boiled water can be contaminated by bacteria, so do not boil too much water each time. Infants and young children have special physiological structures: underdeveloped gastrointestinal and renal functions. Due to the underdeveloped kidneys and other organs in infants and young children, the filtration of glomeruli, concentration and reabsorption of renal tubules, and excretion functions are poor. Therefore, more water is needed to excrete waste, and excessive trace elements in mineral water can increase the burden on the baby's kidneys and intestines. So, mineral water may not be suitable for babies. It is recommended to use plain water.
From this perspective, although drinking water is a good thing, it is also not good for babies to always drink water in the middle of the night. Not only is it not good for babies, but it can also affect the quality of rest for mothers. Many mothers are accustomed to drinking mineral water. Although it is convenient, long-term consumption of mineral water is also not good, let alone for babies who are not fully developed. Therefore, mothers should pay attention to what water to drink for their babies.
