Question
How to handle a five-month-old child who doesn’t drink plain water?
Answer
You can try mixing juice with plain water or boiling apple water for the child to drink, which can increase the vitamin C content in the water. My daughter also had the same issue, but around the age of one, she started drinking more hot water naturally. I’ve also noticed that many children increase their intake of hot water after the age of one. It’s important to keep giving the child water regularly, even if the amount is small each time, but the frequency should be high. Patience is key for mothers. Additionally, giving the child a few sips of water after defecation is a good habit that helps protect their teeth.
