Oral salt supplement for babies

Salt rehydration solution is a way to help babies replenish the salt needed by the body. This thing can be quickly absorbed by the baby because the salt is easily added to warm water, but you need to pay attention to the concentration, because too high salinity will cause dehydration of the body, and sugar and fruit juice cannot be added to the salt rehydration solution. The baby needs to take the salt rehydration solution orally at one time, but its concentration needs to be lowered before drinking. Mothers can learn about its dietary methods.

How to take oral rehydration salt for babies

1. Pour the whole bag into 250ml warm water at one time.

2. Do not split the medicine into half a bag and mix it with 125 ml of warm water, because inaccurate splitting will affect the concentration of the solution and thus affect the efficacy.

3. Do not add sugar, juice, milk, etc. to the prepared rehydration saline solution.

4. After mixing, you don’t have to drink it all at once:

After each bag of oral rehydration salt is prepared, it can be taken in multiple doses, but try to finish it within 24 hours.

If your baby cannot drink water from a cup, you can use a spoon, dropper or small cup to feed him/her 5 to 10 ml every 3 to 5 minutes. If your baby vomits, you can stop feeding him/her for 10 minutes and then feed him/her slowly again.

How to heat the rehydration saline solution when it is cold?

1. In winter, the prepared saline solution will become cold after a while and can be warmed up like hot milk.

2. Never add hot water directly to the rehydration saline solution, as this will dilute the prepared rehydration saline solution and affect the efficacy.
