Whitewater is the most important substance in the human body,
especially the baby. About 90% of the baby's body composition is water. But the
giving of the white water on the baby's age is still a controversy to some
circles. Some argued the awarding of
white water at the age which has not yet reached 6 months can affect the
function of the heart and brain of the baby. Is it true that it is? The
following will be presented regarding the granting of water as a beverage for
infants.
Regarding The Granting Of
Drinking Plain Water For Infants
In General, the giving of
the whitewater in infants is not
recommended until the infant reaches the age of 6 months. Hydration needs can
be met only in infants with breastfeeding
or infant formula alone, despite being in a hot environment or the baby was
having a fever.
The giving of the white
water has not reached the age of 6 months, will affect the ability of the
digestive organs of the baby to absorb nutrients from breast milk or infant
formula. Give plain water will also cause a baby quick satiety but no nutrients
that can be absorbed by the body.
Breast milk contains 80%
water and 20% rest is various indispensable nutrient content by the growth of
newborn babies up to the age of 6 months. So that breastfeeding is actually just enough to meet compliance needs
water, especially for babies. The
granting of the water in the mix any infant formula must be considered and adapted
to the conditions of the body and the age of the baby.
In some rare cases even
known, there are some babies who suffered water poisoning resulting from
granting excessive water drinking. The symptoms that occur when the water is
poisoning the baby can experience seizures, fainting, to culminate in the onset
of coma and unconscious.
This occurs because too
much water in the body of the baby will destabilize the balance of sodium and
potassium in the blood. Cause cell tissues swell due to hold too much water.
When the baby reaches six
months of age, digestive organs have been ready in the digested food and sources of nutrients other than breast milk. At
the moment this is you can start administering drinking plain water little by
little when the baby is hungry.
Need to keep in mind that
do not provide whitewater too much even
though he was only 6 months because white
water can make your stomach full quick so not getting optimal nutrients from
food companion breast milk well.
After reaching the age of
1 year, and the baby is already able to ingest solid food, then you can give
plain water as much as he wanted. It can be given no feeding with a spoon or gradually provided with a glass or dot her milk.
How many whitewater by measure, which is true in the
manufacture of Infant Formula
The giving of the whitewater on the making of baby formula must
be observed. The giving of the white water too much milk will make a dilute. So
the baby will quickly feel full while not many nutrients absorbed by the body.
Measure the required
formula on every baby is different in accordance with the conditions of the
body and age. The newly born babies need about 30 ml of formula milk for the
baby and about 1 to 2 months require milk as much as 30 to 60 ml every 2 or 3
hours.
When a baby enters the age
of 2 up to 6 months, babies will require milk as much as 60 to 90 ml per day. A
baby who has entered the age of complementary feeding breast milk will require
more than 90 ml per day. You can also give 30-60 ml milk in addition, babies
have yet to feel full.
Other than with just the
right dose of already mentioned above, the granting of infant formula can be
adjusted to the weight of the baby. The formula used is the baby's weight x 2 x
2.2 x 30 ml. for example, if your baby weighs 3 pounds, then the needs of your
baby's infant formula was 396 ml a day. Then, every 2 – 3 hours baby you need
33 to 50 ml of milk formula.
The comparison used in the
grant formula and water is 1 scoop measure out the milk of appeals 30 ml. grant
overload can cause a not optimal nutrition can even be the cause of child
malnutrition.
Newborn babies up to age 1
month takes 3 – 4 measure out the milk with white water cooked as much as 90 to
120 ml per day, the equivalent of 7 to 10 ml every grant of a milk formula (per
2-3 hours).
For age 2 to 3 months,
infants require 4 – 5 measure out the
milk with white water matures as much as 120 – 150 ml per day, equivalent to
the giving of 10 – 12 ml per 2-3 hours. Infants aged 4 to 6 months, can be
given 7 measure out the milk with plain water as much as 210 ml, equivalent to
granting 17 – 20 ml every 2 to 3 hours.

200 mg per liter. The content of Sulphate
(SO4 or SO) must be less than 250 mg per liter.
The content of sodium and
sulfate that is too high can not be absorbed properly by the baby's digestion.
Can interfere with the balance of fluids and causes diarrhea as well as
poisoning the water as it has in the previous
discussion. Medication and treatment of diarrhea in children you should know
well.
The giving of the white
water for babies who are not yet 6 months old can be given to the environmental
conditions that are really hot and the mother is not able to provide the intake
of breast milk fits his needs.
In addition, if the babies experience diarrhea without dehydration by
circumstances well, normal thirst and the child can drink as usual. Then the
doctor would advise administering oral rehydration therapy with plain water as
a solvent. The dose used for infants aged less than 1 year is ¼ to ½ glass oral
rehydration therapy any child experiencing the chapter.
If dehydration is moderate
to severe with State public agitation to lethargic even unconsciously, the eyes
sunken, lazy children drink then this is a sign you should take the child
immediately headed to the nearest health services for implemented awarding
fluids through an IV drip.
Well, hopefully, the information regarding the
granting of white water for infants above can provide benefits to you all. Avoid
granting white water before a baby reaches the age of 6 months for the sake of
the health of the digestive organs of the baby, fill the need of hydration with
breast milk and infant formula alone. Greetings!
