Feeding the baby water 4 months ago may make the child poisoned by water! Wu, an attending physician in the pediatric nephrology department of Changhua Christian Children's Hospital, said that it is very important to feed the baby with water. Infants under 4 months old mainly use "ㄋㄋㄋㄟㄟㄟㄟㄟㄟㄟㄟㄟㄟㄟㄟㄟㄟ". Before feeding your baby water, you must evaluate your baby's diet to avoid danger.
People with water poisoning drink too much water at a time, which leads to the kidney not having time to excrete water and reduces the concentration of sodium ions in the blood. At this time, the osmotic pressure outside the cell is lower than that inside the cell, and the water moves to the cell for balance, which will expand the brain cells and cause headaches, fatigue, drowsiness, cramps and other symptoms. This situation is called "water poisoning".
Worried that the baby is not drinking enough water? Observe the urine situation first. After the baby starts to eat non-staple food, you can put 1 and 200 water in the bottle or learning cup, and feed a little after eating or going out for activities. If you are not sure whether the child has drunk enough water, you can observe the urine volume, color and smell of the child from 4 months to 1 year. Babies with sufficient water usually change diapers every 3 or 4 hours, and the urine is colorless, transparent or yellowish, which will give off a faint urine smell. If the baby has not urinated for 3 or 4 hours in a row, then the urine is dark, thick and smelly, indicating that the water is not enough and needs to be replenished.
The activity of 1 ~ 3 years old is increasing. At this time, it is necessary to judge whether the child has drunk enough water, not only to observe the color of urine, but also to observe the defecation. Children who drink a lot of water generally pull out soft stools. If the child's stool is dry and hard, and even constipation occurs, it means that the water is not enough. If the child drinks a lot of water every day, the stool is still dry and hard, which may be a digestive problem. It is best to go to the children's gastroenterology department for examination as soon as possible.
Fever, cough and high temperature require extra hydration. Usually, the amount of water can be flexibly adjusted according to the baby's urine and urine, and no additional water is needed. Unless the baby has a cold and fever, strenuous exercise, or goes out to play in summer, it is necessary to replenish water for the baby.
Dr. Wu analyzed that there was no unconscious water when he had a fever. With the increase of loss, the body needs to replenish enough water to avoid dehydration. When you have a cold and cough, your throat will be red, swollen and painful, and you will secrete a lot of phlegm. It is necessary to use water as a medium to relieve pain, dilute sputum and help the body cough up sputum. If you don't replenish water to your baby at any time when you go out in summer, your baby may suffer from heatstroke, with symptoms such as rising body temperature, red and dry skin, decreased appetite, poor activity, irritability and crying.
Non-sensory dehydration The types of human dehydration can be divided into non-sensory dehydration and non-sensory dehydration. The former is mainly excreted through the kidney or large intestine in the form of urine and feces, while the latter is excreted through the skin or lungs in the form of sweat and respiration.
So, is drinking boiled water the same as drinking mineral water?
Drinking more water is good for your health? Beware of baby water poisoning! Which is more nutritious, boiled water or mineral water? There are all kinds of mineral water in the market. Some claim to balance the body's acid and alkali, form an alkaline constitution, some provide minerals that pure water lacks, and some claim to have the effect of promoting gastrointestinal peristalsis. Is this water more nutritious than boiled water? Dr. Wu Qiyan said that the human body has a mechanism of acid-base balance, which will automatically maintain the ph value between 7.35 and 7.45, and will not make the body alkaline because of drinking alkaline water, so there is no need for the baby to drink alkaline water.
As for mineral water, because the mineral content of water is not higher than that of food, as long as the baby has a balanced diet and regularly increases the intake of non-staple food, the baby can get the minerals needed by the body. Although bubble water does promote gastrointestinal peristalsis, the baby's gastrointestinal function is not yet mature, and drinking bubble water is easy to flatulence. In contrast, boiled water is the safest and healthiest, and it is best to give children boiled water as the main water.
How to make good water suitable for babies to drink? Choose a qualified water dispenser or water purifier at home at ordinary times, change the filter element regularly, and boil and cool the filtered water for the baby to drink. Before going out to use public drinking fountains, refer to the attached schedules on both sides of the drinking fountains to make sure that the filter element is replaced regularly, and you can also rest assured to give it to your baby.
Cultivate your baby's drinking habits, starting with changing non-staple food. What if the baby doesn't like drinking water? Dr. Wu Shaoyan said that human beings are terrestrial animals and don't like drinking water. In order for children to develop the habit of drinking water, we should first let them gradually change the staple food from "ㄋㄟㄋㄟㄟ" to non-staple food. When children reduce milk and increase non-staple food intake, the body will naturally need water. In addition, avoid letting children contact sugary drinks such as fruit juice and honey water.
Letting children replenish water only through boiled water can also effectively help children develop the habit of drinking water. When the child is older, you can explain the benefits of drinking water to the child in vivid language, such as "After drinking water, the intestines will be clean and unobstructed, and the stool will not get stuck in the intestines, and the body will be very comfortable!" Guide children to observe their physical condition and experience the comfort brought by drinking water, and children will naturally fall in love with drinking water.
Drinking water to prevent chronic diseases and childhood obesity is right! Water can promote metabolism in the body, maintain biochemical balance, protect joints, and clean intestinal and urethral flora. Let the baby develop the habit of drinking water from childhood, which can effectively reduce the risk of constipation and urinary tract infection.
In addition, many research reports at home and abroad have pointed out that many civilized diseases in modern times are related to excessive intake of sugary drinks. If children can be kept away from sugary drinks and boiled water is the main source of water, the chances of children suffering from chronic diseases and obesity in the future will be greatly reduced, and their physiological functions can be maintained in a relatively healthy state.
Q 1 red urine, must it be hematuria? A: Not necessarily. Some newborns born for one month will excrete light pink uric acid crystal urine because the kidney urine concentration function is not yet mature and the milk volume is insufficient; Eating cherries, beets, red pitaya, pomegranates and other fruits will also excrete reddish urine. Although the urine looks red, it is not hematuria.
Does Q2 have bubbles in urine, that is, proteinuria? A: Although proteinuria can cause bubbles in urine, bubbles in urine are not necessarily proteinuria. If you find bubbles in your baby's urine, you should go to the hospital for a urine test. Don't guess for yourself.
