Question
My daughter wasn’t much of a drinker before, but now she drinks a lot of water every day. She wants to drink whenever she sees a bottle, and once she starts, she can’t stop. She even wants to drink from the bottle while eating. Her urine has also increased, and she seems very energetic. Half a month ago, she received intravenous treatment for a purulent inflammation in her mouth. I’m not sure if this has affected her. How was her previous treatment and its effectiveness?
Answer
Generally speaking, children should be given water to drink every day, and drinking more isn’t harmful. Usually, there shouldn’t be any issues. However, your baby’s situation seems a bit serious; it might be due to previous inflammation or diarrhea that makes her want to drink more. You can let her drink for a while and observe. This is my suggestion for the question ‘Is it good for a 1-year-old to love drinking water?’ I hope it helps, and wish you health!
