Question
My baby was born 11 days ago, and the water from our home water dispenser tastes like glue. What should I do? The water dispenser had been broken before and was repaired, but now the water tastes like glue. What could be the impact on the newborn if they drink it, and I’ve also had some; can I continue breastfeeding?
Answer
The glue-like taste in the water dispenser could be due to plastic quality issues or long-term lack of cleaning. Regularly clean the internal parts of the water dispenser to keep it clean and avoid any glue-like taste affecting health. The health of newborns and breastfeeding mothers needs special attention, ensuring the quality of drinking water to prevent any potential risks.
