Patient's question:
My baby is only a few months old and has been breastfeeding exclusively. Lately, I feel like she's lacking energy. I'm wondering if her dislike for drinking water is related to her diet. I'm very concerned and don't know if medication is necessary. What kind of help would you suggest?Hello, what should I do if my child doesn't like to drink water?
Doctor's answer:
Generally, breastfed babies do not need additional water, although it is best if they can drink it. If the baby does not like drinking water, do not force them to prevent them from becoming more reluctant to drink due to frustration.Suggestion: Usually, after the baby starts eating solid foods, they will gradually develop a preference for drinking water. Therefore, if they are not drinking enough water now, there is no need to worry too much.
The above advice is for the question "What should I do if my child does not like to drink water?" I hope it helps you. Wishing you good health!
