How to improve the newborn baby's refusal to drink water

Newborns have relatively weak physical constitutions, so parents need to pay attention to this. When there are abnormalities in the newborn's body, they should go to the hospital for examination in time, so that they can have some understanding of the newborn's specific conditions and avoid damage to the newborn's body. There are many reasons why newborns don't like to drink water. When this happens, there are also some good ways to improve it. The following is a detailed introduction.

Newborns don’t like to drink water. Improvement methods:

1. Play water drinking games with your baby

You can find two small cups, pour the same amount of water into the two cups, give one cup to your baby and one cup to yourself, and then play the "Cheers" game with your baby.

2. Encouragement strategy

Say more often, "Baby, you are good. You are not thirsty anymore after drinking water!" "Children who drink more water are good children!" etc. Babies will cooperate with the parents' requests in order to be praised.

3. No drinks stored at home

If you don’t want your children to hold beverage bottles all day, parents should first not buy them or store them at home. Even if you let your child satisfy his or her craving occasionally, he or she should finish the drink on the spot.

4. Parents are role models

In the cultivation of any habit, the role of parents is crucial. When you are drinking water, deliberately come to your baby and make exaggerated movements to attract his attention. The power of role models is infinite! Don’t “waste” every moment of cultivating habits.

5. Bandwagon effect

Children all have one characteristic, that is, when they see other children doing something, they will follow suit. It is recommended that parents prepare a bottle of water in advance when taking their babies to play in the community. As long as other children are drinking water, they should quickly give their own. Generally, this will work.

These are the methods to improve the problem of newborns not liking to drink water. Using these methods is very helpful to improve the problem of newborns drinking water. However, when using these methods, you must also pay attention to long-term use, so that the newborns will develop a habit of drinking water and avoid dehydration.
