Question
My baby cries if I don’t give him 150 milliliters of glucose water about one to two hours after he eats, and he has to drink it 4-5 times a day. Sometimes, he seems too full and throws up. Is it too much glucose water for him?
Answer
Based on your baby’s condition, it seems that at this age, it’s normal for them to eat easily digestible meals. They should drink plain water. You can give them some glucose water in conjunction with their meals, but not too much. The situation where a baby drinks glucose water like this is quite rare. I suggest gradually stopping this practice as it doesn’t offer much benefit to the body. If stopping it causes any disturbances for the baby, it’s recommended to have a check-up at the hospital to see.
