With the weather being extremely warm this weekend – and with it looking to stay that way for some time – you might be wondering how best to soothe little ones and keep them comfortable.But experts have warned that, for very young babies, this isn’t just counterproductive – in some cases it could be fatal.
Babies under six months aren’t supposed to be given any water at all, and even just one sip could upset the natural balance of their little bodies.At this early stage in their lives, babies have a higher proportion of water in their bodies. While we’re around 55%, newborns are around 75% water.said: ‘Kidneys are also too immature in infants under six and water can cause intoxication as a result of an imbalance in electrolytes such as sodium.
If you’re using water to make formula, that’s not a problem . Just don’t use more than called for in the instructions. And if you’re worried about babies becoming dehydrated in the heat, be sure to feed them more milk if they want or need it.
