Question
Can a six-month-old baby drink boiled apple water?
Answer
I’m glad to address your concerns. Babies around four months old can usually drink boiled apple water, as they can start consuming apple puree, although the quantity should be less. If the color of their stool turns black after drinking, this might be a sign of indigestion, but it’s best to have a regular stool test done at the hospital to determine if there is any bleeding. If the baby has diarrhea four or five times a day, but there are no symptoms of decreased urine output or lack of energy, indicating no dehydration, they can focus on symptomatic anti-inflammatory medication. It is recommended to temporarily stop all complementary foods, including apple water. If there is no dehydration, oral probiotics, pepsin granules, and lactic acid bacteria granules can be taken.
