The best drinks for your kids:

With the begin of the child’s ablactation, you will need to provide a lot of drinks for your child. Know with us the best and worst drinks for your child at the age of 6 months.

BEST DRINKS:

Water:

The best drink for your child is water

For babies less than six months, fill the kettle with water from the kitchen faucet and boil it.

Leave the water to cool before giving it to your baby. Bottled water is not a healthy option as some natural mineral water is not suitable for babies because of the amount of minerals that they contain. If you need to use bottled water, remember that any bottled water called “natural mineral water” may contain too much sodium for babies. Check the label to make sure that the amount of sodium is not higher than 200 milligrams per liter. If you are offering bottled water for your infant, less than six months, you should boil and cool it for him just like tap water.

Pressed fruits:

For infants over 6 months, you can give them diluted fruit juice, such as orange juice, as a drink at meal times. Mix the juice where one part juice with 10 parts of water. If your child follows a vegetarian diet , or if you are breastfeeding, give him fruit juice diluted with meals that will be useful. It contains vitamin C that helps iron absorption. But it is important to remember that the fruit juice contains sugar, although it’s naturally found in baby food, but it can cause tooth decay. It is also undesirable, increasing acidity. Fruit juice is not recommended for infants under 6 months.

Milk:

Use suitable milk for your child’s age, because your child can drink cow’s milk full cream only when become one year old.

Canned juices:

Soft drinks, sugary drinks.

Diet drinks, low-calorie beverages without added sugar.

Flavored water or milk:

Children’s drinks and herbal drinks.
