How much water should a three-month-old baby drink in a day to be considered normal?

Patient's question:

The child has been crying non-stop recently and isn't eating much. How much water should a three-month-old baby drink per day to be considered normal?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, breastfed babies do not need to be given water separately because the mother's milk already meets the baby's needs. If the baby is mixed-fed or loves sweating in the hot summer, it is necessary to give them more water. My baby is mixed-fed, and at 3 months and 1 day, he is fed 2-3 times. Each time, he takes 30-40 ML without experiencing any heat rash and is very healthy. Based on your description, it seems related to a weak spleen and stomach, and it is possible to regulate it with traditional Chinese medicine. You can take 4 pills, and it is important to properly increase nutrition and supplement vitamins and trace elements while avoiding harmful stimuli.
