Drinking Water May Harm Babies

Avoid drinking water to infants under six months old. Because according to Dr. Jennifer Anders, an expert pediatrician, consume too much water can endanger infants and the risk of water intoxication (drinking water).

That is because the baby's kidneys are still very weak and not strong enough to get water intake.
Giving them too much water can cause the baby's body sodium issued simultaneously with the excess water. Losing sodium can affect brain activity.

Early symptoms of water drunk are an infant irritability, frequent crying, easy drowsiness and other mental changes. Further symptoms decreased body temperature and swelling in the face.

Anders said that while still very small, the baby can also feel thirsty and have the desire to drink. But the best drink for babies is breast milk and infant formula.
