Newborns should avoid drinking sweet water.
It's no good giving more sugar to newborns. Feeding the newborn with high concentration of sugar water can initially speed up the gastrointestinal peristalsis, but it will soon turn into inhibition, making the baby's abdomen full. The concentration of sugar water for newborns should be between sweet and unsweetened when adults taste it.
Don't feed the baby water before meals.
On the one hand, drinking water before meals will dilute gastric juice, which is not conducive to food digestion; On the other hand, a full stomach also affects appetite. The correct way is to let the baby drink a small amount of water half an hour before meals to increase the secretion of saliva in the mouth and help digestion.
Don't give the baby water before going to bed.
Younger babies can't completely control urination after deep sleep at night. If they drink too much water before going to bed, it is easy to urinate. Even if you don't enuresis, getting up several times a night to urinate will affect your sleep.
The best drink seems to be boiled water.
Many parents give their babies all kinds of novel and expensive sweet juices, soft drinks or other drinks instead of boiled water, which is not desirable. Drinks contain a lot of sugar and more electrolytes, which will stay in the stomach for a long time after drinking, causing adverse stimulation to the stomach. When the baby is thirsty, just drink boiled water and try it once in a while.
