Question
How Much Glucose Water Should a 5-Month-Old Baby Drink in a Day?
Answer
According to the mother’s description, the baby’s eating habits seem unusual, as babies of this age should primarily focus on normal digestion of food and drinking plain water. While glucose water can be given to babies occasionally, it is not necessary to provide it as frequently as described. It is recommended to gradually reduce the frequency of giving glucose water to the baby, as this may not offer many health benefits. If the baby experiences discomfort after reducing the amount, it is advisable to take the baby to the hospital for a check-up.
