All mothers make sure that their babies get the best. But sometimes we forget about simple but very important things.. Today, together with a pediatrician, we will figure out what the correct drinking regimen of a baby should be..

Water is unique, it is easily absorbed, participates in all vital processes in the body, helps to regulate body temperature.. Therefore, the baby must be introduced to water..

Depending on the temperature and humidity of the environment, as well as on the weight and activity of the child, the average daily fluid requirement of the baby varies from 80-100 ml / kg in the first week of life to 140-160 ml / kg in the period from 3 to 6 months of life.

Pediatrician Maria Lvovna Karpinskaya advises: “Starting from a month to 6 months, a baby can drink 100-150 grams of pure water per day. Water should be at room temperature, you do not need to boil special baby water. If the baby refuses to drink water - do not worry, it means that he has enough fluid that he receives with food.

But it must be borne in mind that babies who are bottle-fed need more watering than babies who are breastfed.. The main criterion that will help you correctly determine the volume of water for the baby is his desire to drink.. Offer your child water from a special baby (non-metal) spoon after feeding or between feedings..

Babies need to be given special baby water.. Ordinary bottled water for adults is not suitable for babies, it may contain a high amount of mineral salts, sodium ions, and this can negatively affect the baby's developing renal excretory system.

Pediatrician Maria Lvovna Karpinskaya says: “Only water with a balanced mineral composition will positively affect the metabolic processes in the baby’s body.. High-quality children's water does not provoke fluid retention and does not carry an additional burden on the children's body..

Bebivita baby water is designed for babies from the first days of life. It is ideal for quenching thirst, preparing all types of baby food, including diluting baby milk formulas, making dry milk porridges, tea drinks, baby juices, etc..

Bebivita water is produced in the most ecologically clean region of Ukraine - Transcarpathia, it does not contain preservatives and has a balanced mineral composition.

The need of the child's body for water varies depending on the age of the child..

The rate of fluid intake is calculated as follows: 40-50 ml of fluid per 1 kg of weight.

It should be remembered that in the summer, in the heat, babies especially need to be supplemented, because a lack of fluid can lead to dehydration..

Pediatrician Maria Lvovna Karpinskaya advises: “After 5-6 months, a child can drink up to 500-600 grams of water per day. Do not exceed this limit.

Keep in mind that in the hot season, children want to drink more, but their appetite may decrease.. Everything like adults. Water can be alternated with unsweetened drinks: rosehip broth, berry infusion, special children's teas..

If the baby gets enough water, then he becomes more energetic and active, cheerful and cheerful, his brain function and coordination of movements improve.. And what could be more important for parents than a healthy baby
