What to do if the baby does not drink boiled water

The most common drink in daily life is boiled water. Not only does it not have any additives, it can also provide the body with many necessary trace elements to keep the body healthy. Generally, mothers will feed their babies some boiled water after eating, to prevent the babies from getting angry and help their digestion and metabolism. Some babies don’t like to drink boiled water. Here’s what to do if babies don’t like to drink boiled water.

If babies drink less water, it will bring a series of adverse effects on their health, mainly reflected in digestion and excretion. It can easily lead to skin dehydration, inflammation, constipation, etc. At the same time, it is not conducive to the detoxification of the baby's body, and the resistance will also be affected. Therefore, parents should pay attention to the problem of babies not liking to drink water.

1. Don’t be anxious

Even if the baby doesn't like to drink water, the mother does not need to worry too much, because water can be obtained from milk, porridge, soup, fruit and other foods. Just observe the baby's eating habits patiently and ensure a balanced diet.

2. Not proactive

Mothers should get their children accustomed to a light diet, give them less sweet drinks, and not actively provide sugary drinks to their babies. When encountering parties, wedding banquets and other occasions, you can communicate with adults in advance. Please do not feed your baby juice or drinks just for fun. Develop the good habit of not drinking drinks indiscriminately from an early age.

Babies in their infancy have a strong ability to imitate, so parental role modeling is very important. To help babies develop a good habit of drinking water, parents should set an example and take the lead in quitting the habit of drinking beverages. It is best not to have sweet drinks at home.

4. Drink healthy drinks appropriately

Some drinks are healthy and delicious and have good health-preserving functions, so your baby certainly doesn't need to refuse them. However, it is best to drink it under the premise of ensuring that the child is hydrated normally. After all, boiled water is better for replenishing water. When giving your baby powder to drink, try to choose products that require less water and are easy to prepare, so as not to affect the baby's normal water intake.

5. Use tools to help

Mothers can also use tools to help, and can choose cute cartoon cups for children. Children are interested in interesting things, so it is easy to keep them interested in drinking water.

It is best for your health to drink water that has been boiled and then cooled to room temperature. The gas in boiled water that is then cooled is about half that of water before boiling. This is very similar to the properties of water in human cells, and is most easily absorbed by the body and passes through cell membranes, which is beneficial to metabolism.

In addition, people who often drink cold boiled water have high dehydrogenase activity in their bodies and are less prone to fatigue. It should be noted that when boiled water is exposed to air, the gas will re-enter the water. Cold boiled water that is stored for a long time or repeatedly poured out will be contaminated by bacteria. Therefore, cold boiled water that has been cooled within 4-6 hours after boiling is the most ideal drinking water.

In cold seasons, special attention should be paid to the temperature of the water your baby drinks. The water temperature is generally controlled at around 37°C, mainly based on the baby's taste. Because the baby's digestive tract mucosa is delicate and cannot withstand the stimulation of excessive cold or heat; warm water can not only replenish water, but also enhance the baby's ability to resist cold. A simple way to measure the temperature is to drop a small amount of water on the back of your hand. If it doesn’t feel hot, you can give it to your baby.
