Can infants drink mineral water?
It is not recommended to give your baby mineral water.

Mineral water, mineral water, as the name implies, has a high mineral content, so the mineral content of mineral water meets the needs of adults and is not suitable for infants with delicate internal organs.

The organs of infants and young children are not yet mature. If the mineral content is too high, the child's body cannot absorb it. Moreover, macromolecular minerals can not be absorbed and filtered by children, but are deposited in the body, which is easy to cause too many elements in children and lead to poisoning.

In fact, many mineral water manufacturers have started to produce baby water, or mother-infant water, which is not suitable for children to drink directly. Boiling in a kettle is more suitable for children, or you don't need to buy infant water. Install a water purifier directly on the tap water at home, and then boil the filtered water for children to drink. Generally no problem.

Remind parents not to let their children drink outside water, especially babies under one year old. The water in restaurants and supermarkets is not good.

Share a short story:

I take my children out for dinner. There is warm lemonade in the restaurant. The temperature is right, and there is nothing unusual on the surface, just like warm water. But after the child drank it, he had diarrhea for half an hour.

Another time I took my child to dinner, there was warm barley tea on the table, and my mother-in-law gave her child a few mouthfuls, about half an hour, and the child immediately had diarrhea.

So since then, I have taken my children's thermos cups everywhere and prepared warm water suitable for drinking before going out.

Remind parents not to give their children mineral water to save trouble, and don't joke about their health. Babies can eat and drink normally with adults, or they can wait until they are 2 years old.
