The baby's gastrointestinal function is not yet fully developed, so their digestive and absorption abilities are not particularly good. During the growth process of a baby, it is inevitable to encounter gastrointestinal discomfort. Many parents choose to give their babies oral rehydration salts when they encounter gastrointestinal problems, but many parents are not clear about their usage and dosage. Today, the editor will share with you how to eat oral rehydration salts for babies.
How to eat oral rehydration salts for babies
1. Pour the entire bag into 250ml of warm boiled water at once.
2. Do not split it into half bags and pour 125ml of warm water, as inaccurate splitting can affect the concentration of the solution and thus affect the therapeutic effect.
3. Do not add sugar, juice, milk, etc. to the prepared rehydration saline solution.
4. After mixing, there is no need to drink it all at once:
After each bag of oral rehydration salt is prepared, it can be taken in multiple doses, but it should be consumed within 24 hours as much as possible.
If the baby cannot drink water from a cup, they can use a spoon, dropper, or small cup to feed 5-10 ml every 3-5 minutes. If the baby vomits, it can be stopped for 10 minutes before slowly feeding.
How to heat up when the saline solution cools down
1. In winter, the well prepared rehydration salt water will cool down after being left for a while, and can be warmed up like hot milk.
2. Never directly heat water into the saline solution for fluid replacement, as this will dilute the prepared saline solution and affect its therapeutic effect.
Protecting the baby's digestive system is crucial, as it directly affects their digestive system in the future. Once the digestion and absorption functions are good, the baby's nutrition can be fully utilized, enhancing their resistance and promoting their healthy growth. So, mothers and fathers, we must pay attention to regulating the baby's gastrointestinal tract and give them a healthy digestive system, so that they can have a healthy life.
