1, get into the habit of drinking water
Drink water at a fixed time every day, after or before meals, or after waking up from a nap. Even if the baby doesn't want to drink, pour the water in the cup to him, but don't force him to drink, so as not to cause the baby's disgust. Stick to it for a while, and you will form a habit.
Second, understand the baby's demand for drinking water.
The younger the baby, the higher the proportion of water needed in the body. The baby grows fast and needs more water than adults, while the baby's kidney function is not perfect and water consumption is fast. Generally, the water requirement per kilogram of body weight is 120- 160ml for 0-2 years old, 120- 150ml for 0-2 years old and1/kloc-0 for 0-2 years old.
Third, second, analyze the reasons why babies don't like drinking water.
When supplementing calcium for infants, some calcium supplement products are taken by infants, so many other ingredients are added to improve the taste of calcium supplement products. Mothers think that infants love to eat, but they don't know that calcium supplementation for infants can't be too sweet, which will cause taste preference, affect the baby's normal drinking of water and milk, and even affect appetite.
Fourth, many children don't like drinking water. The cause of this problem can be traced back to the infant feeding period. Due to lack of scientific knowledge, many parents didn't pay attention to feeding their children enough water in infancy. Over time, children don't like water.
Fifth, the baby's self-care ability is gradually improving. Some parents worry that children drinking too much water will lead to an increase in urine volume, and intentionally or unintentionally reduce their baby's water consumption.
Inhalation is uneven There should be a general time to drink water, and it is necessary to avoid not drinking for one day or drinking a lot at a time. We all know that we should eat on time every day and take medicine on time when we are sick, but how many people pay attention to drinking water on time? When we understand the relationship between water and nutrition, water and health, we should pay attention to let the baby drink water on time.
Sixth, master the countermeasures of baby drinking water
1, don't expose your baby to irritating smell too early.
The baby's taste buds are in a period of rapid development, which are more widely distributed on the tongue surface than adults, and the taste is more sensitive and richer. Fragile taste bud cells are very sensitive to taste changes. Premature contact with pungent taste will lead to the slow response of taste buds, which will lay a hidden danger for not drinking white water and picky eaters in the future, and is not conducive to the health of adults.
For example, in daily life, when a mother supplements calcium to her baby, some parents choose to supplement calcium with sweet and sour taste. Although the baby seems to be acceptable for the time being, premature contact with irritating taste has seriously affected the development of taste buds. Therefore, parents should choose light milk calcium products that are not irritating and close to breast milk as the first choice.
2. Play drinking games with your baby
You can find two small cups, pour the same amount of water into them, one for the baby and one for yourself, and then play a "cheers" game with the baby.
3. Incentive strategy
Say more, "The baby is so good, he won't be thirsty after drinking water!" " "Children who drink more water are good children!" Wait, the baby will cooperate with the parents' requirements in order to get praise.
Seven, let drinking water become a baby's habit.
1, after the baby wakes up and plays, give the baby boiled water, because at this time, the baby is very good and easy to accept things that he doesn't like at ordinary times.
2. After eating, let the baby drink a mouthful of boiled water in the name of gargling.
3. When you take your baby out to play, you can find a child who drinks boiled water as an example for your baby and let him learn from him.
4. Every baby will have something he likes. If the baby likes Teletubbies, you can make up a story about Teletubbies drinking boiled water.
