It is said that women are made of "water", but no matter how "water spirits" are no match for babies. Seventy to eighty percent of babies are watery, and they take off a small water polo. Once the water is insufficient, various problems will arise.
The importance of water is well-known, but how do you drink it? What are the areas that need special attention when going out and when you are sick? What are the blind spots in the water for mothers who do not have knowledge? Let us re-learn together about the baby's drinking.
Why is "water" so important?
Always listen to doctors and experts repeatedly stressed that how important it is for infants and young children to make up water, and that water supply is essential... How important is water for your baby's body? We start with the baby's body mechanics and look at the three aspects together to understand in detail how important moisture is.
Is the baby a drowning spirit?
About 70-80% of infants and young children are water, while adults are about 60%. In other words, infants and young children need more water than adults, so the body looks soft and supple. The main extracellular water is in the blood. The blood carries the important task of delivering oxygen, nutrients, and waste. It is the foundation of life activities. The guarantee of normal operation of the conveyor is the reconstitution of water.
Fast metabolism
Infants and young children metabolism faster than adults, sweating more, breathing frequency is high, the number of urine and defecation is also more. Therefore, the body will emit a lot of water. Once the hydration does not keep up with the rate of discharge, the baby's body will show signs of water shortage, which may lead to various diseases.
Rapid protection against waste
The kidneys of infants and young children have not yet matured, and the function of forming feces cannot reach the level of adults. To remove the same amount of metabolic waste, it is necessary to double the moisture for protection. This is why infant defecation is so frequent. If there is insufficient water, metabolic waste cannot be completely excreted, and toxin deposition can easily lead to illness.
What is the lack of moisture?
Mothers are often warned by experts: The lack of water in the body and the appearance of “dehydration†are very dangerous! How dangerous is it? What are the obstacles to the body's function after dehydration? What should I do after my illness?
Direct results - obstacles to circulation
When there is insufficient water in the body, the amount of urine will be reduced firstly. This is the body's self-regulation to reduce the loss of water in the body, but if it cannot make up for the loss of water in time, the blood flow will also decrease. This in turn causes a drop in blood pressure and a weakening of the pulse, which makes people weak. Severely, the brain function will be affected and consciousness will gradually be blurred.
The following situations need attention!
When there is a lack of water in the body, the baby's body will show signs. According to the degree of water shortage, the dehydration can be divided into three levels, and mothers can look for appropriate nursing measures according to their severity.
Mild dehydration - uncomfortable, irritable
Mild dehydration usually shows thirst in the throat, and the baby may feel irritable or emotional because he wants to drink water.

Moderate dehydration - reduced urine volume and frequency
If the water does not continue to be lost, the baby will cry because he is thirsty and may even begin to be confused. The number and amount of urination have decreased, and the color has deepened.
Nursing points → quickly feed the baby, if you do not trust you can go to the hospital.
Severe dehydration - weakness, dry lips
Severe dehydration was manifested by a dark blue complexion and weakness. The baby had no spirit, no movement, and dry lips and skin.
Nursing points → Severe dehydration may be life-threatening. At this time, you should bring your baby to the hospital as soon as possible. If necessary, rely on infusion to supplement body fluids.
