After adding complementary foods to the baby, every mother will promptly let the baby drink warm water, but they are not very clear about how much water to drink every day. Drinking moderate amounts of water can effectively help the body's metabolism and circulation, promote gastrointestinal peristalsis. So how much water does the child drink per day?
1. Due to the differences in height and weight of babies, the amount of water they drink also varies significantly. At this time, the amount of water that babies drink per day is about 150 milliliters per kilogram of body weight. For example, if a baby's body weight is 6 kilograms, the amount of water they need per day will reach 900 milliliters. Subtracting the amount of milk they drink will give the correct value. The time to drink water should be chosen one hour after eating complementary foods or after feeding.
2. Choose warm water for your baby instead of mineral water or cold water. Warm water can effectively help your baby's various organs eliminate toxins, improve constipation, and accelerate the excretion of sweat in the body, achieving heat dissipation function. Especially after a lot of exercise, it is necessary to supplement your baby with sufficient water during rest.
3. At this time, babies can be fed through breast milk or formula milk every morning and evening. The remaining three meals of the day mainly rely on food. Mothers should also pay attention to their own cooking methods, try to avoid high-temperature frying or grilling, and cross consume multiple ingredients. All ingredients should be cleaned thoroughly. For green vegetables, they should be soaked in light salt water for half an hour in advance. After repeated cleaning, they should be chopped and steamed or boiled into soup for the baby to eat.
