Hi all,
I hope all the moms have now started giving water to thier babies.
How much water is ur child taking??
I give him three times solid feed and that time I give him water.He takes 2-3 sips and thats its.He hardly takes 20-25ml daily.(10 ml approx everytime). Is is ok?? He dosen' t like to drink water only wants to play with it.
One thing more.... earlier he never passed urine in the nights, but now he passes 2-3 times urnine in night. Is is due to water that i am giving him??
pl sugggest..
Sunita replied. Hello KT... I give archie 2-3 spoons of water after her food n she loves it... Though I don give it when my hubby is arnd :-) ' coz we read somwhere that introducing water to babies shld be late as most of the diseases r speard thru it... I don give her in between as am still breastfeeding her... Shilpa replied. HI KT!
I thing baby should urinate at night but not while sleeping. When he wakeups for feeding he should urinate. If he is not urinating in sleep then there is no probs. May be earlier he because of lack of water he may not be urinating. If he don' t like water then give him more liquid purees. Also keep trying water. I was having same prob with my son he was not dringking water. I tried above one and thank god after 1 month he started liking water :) KT replied. Tried yaar, but only a sip of juice and than no from his side. my doc also told me to give more water.lets see what other moms have to say...
take care... Roops replied. Hi KT...same with Yashita..she doesnt like drinking water that much..but she likes playing with it..she takes the water in and spits it all over and laughs..she is soo funny..i make sure that i give her water after solid feeds and also in between..but as u said its hardly an ounce (30ml) a day..doc said that i should try giving her some fresh fruit juices or tender coconut..havent tried that yet..u may give it a try..
