Patient's question:
But no matter how we try to feed him, he won't drink it. The baby is already more than five months old, why won't he drink plain water? His skin is very dry, and we hope he drinks more plain water, but he just won't. We are very anxious, what should we do?What kind of assistance would you like: Thank you...
Doctor's answer:
Juice mixed with plain water or water cooked with apples is great, as the water is rich in vitamin C. My daughter used to be the same, but around the age of one, she started drinking more hot water by herself, and I noticed that many children start drinking more hot water after their first birthday. Pay attention to giving your baby more hot water to drink regularly, as it's okay if the amount is small but the frequency is high. After all, as a mother, a little patience is all you need! Regarding the issue of teeth, you must make sure to give her a few sips of hot water to rinse her mouth after she finishes using the bathroom. This is a good habit!Advice: Actually, mixing juice with plain water or cooking apples in water is great, as the water is rich in vitamin C.
