Patient's question:
I don't know if he has this condition, and his mental state isn't good either. Can babies drink water while breastfeeding?Doctor's answer:
2-month-old babies should drink water every day, and the amount of water intake should equal the sum of urine volume, water in stool, and insensible water loss. However, if breastfeeding is sufficient, with a lot of urine output, it indicates that the water intake is adequate, and additional supplementation with plain water is not necessary.Newborns are definitely fed on demand—when they are hungry, they are fed. Babies will cry when they are hungry, so you don’t need to worry. They only know how to sleep and don’t know they are hungry.
Infants have small appetites, so they won’t eat a lot at one time. However, they excrete a lot, so they get hungry quickly. You’ll need to feed them again soon.
With such a small baby, you don’t need to know exactly how much they eat each day. Feed them according to their condition, not by the clock.
