Will babies get constipated if they drink less water? Don't be fooled by these illusions

Many parents believe that their babies often suffer from constipation because they drink less water. In fact, some of the problems children encounter nowadays have nothing to do with drinking water. Factors that cause baby constipation include drinking milk frequently, drinking too much milk powder, and getting angry, all of which may cause constipation. Therefore, there is not much connection between drinking less water and constipation.

Those who are blamed for "not drinking enough water".

Dry skin: Babies have dry skin because their skin is thin and easily loses moisture. The correct approach is to use more moisturizer.

Constipation: Children who feed on pure milk powder suffer from constipation because their food lacks sufficient dietary fiber. Usually complementary foods are added after four months, and the situation will improve after adding fruits and vegetables. Breastfed babies usually do not suffer from constipation because their mothers eat fruits and vegetables in their daily diet. If a breastfed baby suffers from constipation, the mother should eat more fruits and vegetables.

Yellow urine: This is not a problem at all, okay? Human urine itself is light yellow. You only need to go to the hospital if your child's urine is abnormally brown or red.

Dry mouth: Babies under two months old have dry mouths because they do not secrete saliva. After two months, they start to spit bubbles and you basically don’t see their mouths dry anymore. You will probably be busy wiping their saliva every day by then.

Bad breath: This is due to poor oral hygiene. You can feed water with a spoon and let the child spit it out, which is equivalent to rinsing his mouth.

If you find that your baby has reached the age to drink water, but is extremely disgusted with drinking water.

Then you have to ask yourself if you have ever forced her to drink water?

Sometimes it is not a bad thing to let children feel thirsty. Only when they are thirsty will they know that water is the best way to quench their thirst.

Many times we have to trust our children. If they are hungry, they will naturally drink from the bottle. When he is thirsty, he will find water to drink by himself. If you don’t believe that a child will drink water when he is thirsty, then what else can you believe in the child?
