Question
Dear doctor, a friend’s child is very fond of drinking water. How should this situation be handled?
Answer
Hello, I’m glad to provide you with an answer: If a child drinks excessively, it is appropriate to increase the child’s food intake and allow the infant to gradually adapt. Initially, you can let the child get accustomed to the taste of soup and juice to pique their interest. Adult soup can be diluted 2 to 3 times and fed to the child before breastfeeding when the temperature is similar to the body temperature. Juice can be fed directly with water or mixed with Milk Powder for consumption. It is recommended to visit a professional hospital for a check-up to obtain more professional guidance.
