Drinking water is very important for the human body, regardless of age. Drinking water can promote metabolism and provide the body with sufficient hydration. Of course, drinking water also needs to be controlled, and one should not drink too much in a day to avoid increasing the burden on the kidneys. So, how many milliliters of water does a 6-month-old baby drink per day?
A 6-month-old baby doesn't need too much water per day because they still need to drink breast milk and formula, usually around 80-100 milliliters. Parents can give their babies 4-5 times a day of warm water, about 20 milliliters each time. If the weather is hot or the baby is active and sweating a lot, they can increase the amount of water they drink appropriately.
A 6-month-old baby can already eat complementary foods, so parents can not only give the baby warm water directly, but also give the baby some soup, such as vegetable soup, fish soup, chicken soup, etc., which can not only supplement nutrition but also replenish water. Attention should be paid to the timing of water feeding, usually giving the baby water once between meals.
Parents must pay special attention to their babies' diet in daily life. Although 6-month-old babies can add complementary foods, their intestinal function is still relatively poor and has not fully developed. Therefore, at this time, it is necessary to give babies light and easily digestible foods, and avoid giving them spicy and fried foods.
