How Much Water Babies Should Drink in Summer?

Water is an important component of human body. It contains plenty of mineral substances or trace elements, such as chlorine, sulphur, phosphorus and so on. For adults, water accounts for 60% of their weight, and it is much more in babies. Water can keep the balance of body temperature and maintain the metabolism of the body. The signal of water shortage in human body is thirst. But for babies, when they feel thirsty, it means that water is out of balance in their body, and their body cells have been dehydrated. Especially in summer, as babies sweat more, if they are not supplemented by water in time, it may cause heat stroke. The symptoms of heat stroke include higher body temperature, obnubilation, and sometimes also include convulsion of the limbs.

The standards of water drinking for babies.
How much water should children drink? This should be determined according to the age of your babies. In the neonatal period, as babies' kidney has not developed perfectly, so 20 ml water each time is enough for them. As they grow older, water supply should be increased accordingly. Generally speaking, breast-fed children need relatively less water, and children who drink milk need more water. When your babies reach one year old, as their activities increase, so they should drink water at least three times a day, with about 100 to 200 ml each time. In the dry weather or during summer, water supply should be increased accordingly. After one year old, water supply should be more than 500 ml every day.

Correct ways to supply water to babies.
If parents want to reduce the incidence rate of some diseases for their babies at the growing and developmental phase, they have to pay great attention to the selections and ways of water drinking for babies, so as to help strengthen the function of intestines and stomach, reduce the burden on the kidney, and promote their physical growth and mental development.

Firstly, do not supply water to your babies before meals.
Drinking water before a meal will dilute gastric juice, which is not conducive to the digestion of food, and also will affect the appetite.

Secondly, drink less water before going to bed.
Younger children can not completely control their urination when they are in deep sleep at night. If they drink too much water before going to bed, they will easily suffer from enuresis, and it may also affect their sleeping quality.

How long can I keep my baby in water?

How long can I keep my 7 week old baby in water whether in bath or in a swimming pool?

At 7 weeks old, the ear canal isn't very developed for the baby. The result is you need to keep the baby's head out of water, so mostly a sponge bath in baths. Since they cool down rather quickly, it's best to keep the baby in the bath for as long as it takes to wash them, then into a dry towel.

In the pool... it depends. Indoor pools have been proven to increase the problems with allergies and asthma, as well as an increase of ear-infections among other diseases. Outdoor pools have an increase of diseases just like the indoor ones, but don't have as many long-term allergies and asthma problems. Private outdoor pools are probably pretty safe. Even so, experts tend to recommend nothing longer than 5-10 minutes. They're just so little and so easily chilled that there's dangers for longer than that. And keep their head above the water until they're over 2 and their ear-canals stiffen up.
