Patient's question:
But no matter how we try to feed him, he won't drink. The baby is already more than five months old, why won't he drink plain water? His skin is very dry, and we hope he drinks more plain water, but he just won't. We are very worried, what should we do?What kind of assistance you can provide: Thank you...
Doctor's answer:
Juice mixed with plain water or water boiled with apples is great, as there's more vitamin C in the water. My daughter used to be the same, but around the age of one, she started drinking more hot water by herself, and I noticed that many children do the same after their first birthday. Pay attention to giving your baby more hot water, as it's okay if the amount is small but the frequency is high. After all, as a mother, having more patience is key! As for dental hygiene, you must make sure to give her a few sips of hot water to rinse her mouth after she finishes using the toilet. This is a good habit!Advice: Actually, mixing juice with plain water or boiling apples in water is great, as there's more vitamin C in the water.
