Patient's question:
Big baby, can they drink more glucose? But the bowel movement is not good, sometimes only once a day, is it like this for everyone who eats milk?Doctor's answer:
Hello baby, there is no need to drink glucose water in this situation. If you cannot eat milk, you can take formula milk instead. Generally, feed every two or three hours to ensure that you have more than six or seven urinations per day. Between feedings, you can drink plain water. If the concentration of glucose water is too high, it can easily cause bloating. Newborns do not like to drink water, which can lead to heatiness, constipation, and it is important to drink as much water as possible. Drinking glucose is not a good solution. If you drink glucose frequently, it can increase urine output and lead to excessive water loss, causing severe dehydration. Generally, a small amount of glucose powder can be added to improve the taste, but not too much, otherwise it may cause osmotic diuresis.
