A question many parents ask, are constantly wondering about it, so how can water be harmful to babies?
Children are prevented from eating less than 6 months of water. We first know that the child is very sensitive, and that the least things may affect his or her formation and composition. His composition and physical composition are somewhat different from that of an adult. Of water may cause him a lot of health problems, and this is what we will show you in this article: -
The World Health Organization (WHO) confirms that in the first 6 months of age, the child must be fed exclusively to breast milk, or alternative food for children at that stage, if the mother's milk is not sufficient, and in no case should any Food or water before the end of the first six months of the life of this child, after which may be the introduction of a small amount of food and water and flavored to the side of the child's breast milk or (alternative food formula), and parents have the right to prevent the child to eat breast milk only after To be completed for two full years.
Many of us know that water represents 60% of human body composition but what many do not know is that water represents more than 75% of the body of the child at this stage of his life, which means that the child at this stage of his age does not need water like What older children or adults need, the child does not get dry from breast milk.
But let us ask how much damage water can cause to a child not more than six months old?
The answer is: - A lot of course
As the water above all can fill the baby's small stomach, which prevents the body from absorbing the necessary amount of food that the child is handling, whether from breast milk, and this lack of food may cause weight loss in the child, leading to raise rates of "bilirubin" Which leads to the yellowing of the skin of the child and his injury to the so-called "Jaundice" and in addition to the direct and severe impact on the metabolism of the general child at this stage, and doctors warn to add a small amount of water to breast milk or milk formula .
Another information that needs to be known is that eating a baby with water at this stage of his life may affect the balance of electricity inside his body, leading to seizures. We must know that the child is born with incomplete organs. Many of these organs grow in the baby and need the vitamins needed to be able to function properly. For example, the kidneys in children are small in size, so that their size is half the size of the adult. If a child is given only 6 The few months of water, the kidneys will not be cod We all know that the kidneys are responsible for purifying the body of toxins associated with the food so that the body can absorb the food in a healthy and healthy manner, but the child at this age does not have two kidneys to grow, so He does not have a member that can purify those toxins inside his body, which seriously affects his growth and development.
Experts also say that the child should not be given more than two cups of water between 6 months and a year. Therefore, we must first show the water to the child in a small suspension so that the taste of water may cause the child a kind of confusion, During the first six months of his life, so a small sip of water from time to time make him get used to water, but gradually without harm, and at that time we should return the child to refrain from eating "Albbrona" gradually so that he can dispense with it Completely eat normally.
