Patient's question:
The child has been crying non-stop recently and isn't eating much. How much water should a baby who drinks formula consume in a day?Doctor's answer:
As much as the baby can drink is fine, but drinking too much water is not good either. Add water between two feedings, half the amount of milk. If the baby can drink 30 ml of milk at a time, give them 15 ml of water. Eat more fresh, colorful vegetables and fruits rich in vitamin C (the beta-carotene they contain can be converted into vitamin A in the body), or supplement with multivitamin preparations or colostrum to effectively enhance the child's immunity. It is recommended to ensure adequate sleep and engage in regular physical exercise. This is an effective measure to strengthen the body. Regular exercise can also enhance appetite, allowing the child to consume sufficient nutrients, thereby strengthening the body and significantly increasing resistance.
