What to do if the baby doesn't drink water?

The health of babies is something that parents are always concerned about. Many babies usually have some bad habits, which makes parents feel very upset. For example, some children are picky eaters, some babies like to cry, and some babies don’t like to drink boiled water. So, what should we do if the baby doesn’t want to drink plain water? For this situation, parents can look at the following answers.

1. When the baby wakes up from sleep or is playing, give him boiled water to drink, because the baby is very well behaved at this time and can easily accept things that he usually doesn't like to accept.

2. After eating, let your baby drink some boiled water in the name of rinsing his mouth.

3. When taking your baby out to play, you can find a child who drinks boiled water as a role model for your baby and let your baby learn from him.

4. Every baby has their favorite things. If your baby likes Teletubbies, you can make up a story about Teletubbies drinking boiled water.

5. The whole family should make an agreement to drink boiled water in front of the baby, and even not keep any drinks at home for a certain period of time; the mother should often drink boiled water in front of the baby, and give it to the baby when she drinks, or she can use different small containers to give the baby boiled water.

6. Never give your baby boiled water with added beverages in order to get him to drink more water.

The above points are not single and independent, nor are they short-term. They require long-term patience and persistence and are interconnected. When using each of the above methods, there is no need to require a certain amount of water to be drunk each time. As long as the baby takes a sip, encourage him. If the baby refuses to drink water every time you give him water, give it to him after a while. Don't put too much pressure on the baby. If you persist in doing this bit by bit, I believe your baby will fall in love with boiled water again.

What should I do if my baby refuses to drink water? If babies only drink other things instead of boiled water, it will have a certain impact on their health, so parents must learn to take some measures to coax their children to drink boiled water. You can use more encouraging methods and let your child try to drink some every day. Gradually, your child will get used to drinking such water.
