2 month old baby sticking out tongue

There is no need to correct it, and mothers don't need to worry.

The younger the baby is, the higher the proportion of water required in the body. Babies grow and develop quickly, and need significantly more water than adults. However, their kidney function is not yet perfect, so they consume water quickly. Under normal circumstances, the amount of water required per kilogram of body weight is: 120-160 ml for 0-1 years old, 120-150 ml for 1-2 years old, and 110-140 ml for 2-3 years old.

There are many ways for babies to get water every day. One is to get it directly from drinking water, and the other is to get it from diet.
