@@shaunnen7437 I gave both my kids water a day they are both fine. It's funny how they say no water but if you use formula powder you need water to mix it.
@@shaunnen7437 not newborns. Maybe a tiny little bit would be OKAY when they're a bit older, but babies get all the water they need from their milk or formula until they're old enough for solids. Babies may have survived in the past when given water because people didn't know it was dangerous but it could have been bad. I was warned when I had my first baby when I was leaning about taking care of a newborn to never give them water.
Babies can drink water perfectly fine and they dont have to be 6 months old. The reason that babies dont drink water like adults do is because most of their food has a high water content which means they dont need additional water. Formula has water, breastmilk has high water content and pureed foods have high water content. It isnt until they start eating table food and less foods with hogh water content that they need “additional” fluids/water. If your baby is in warmer climates, and is losing water via sweating then it is definitely ok to give them water. Dont take youtube videos as the gospel.
Their kidneys can't properly deal with water its the equivalent of over drinking water and drowning your kidneys as a grown human sooo yes babies don't need water they get it in other ways
This fact should be clearly explained on dry baby formula. When I read instructions that you can't use less water or more water when mixing formula, as directed on the box, I was always trying to be as specific as possible. But my relatives always were saying that i paid too much attention to preparation process and I could not explain them a real reason why it was important, except showing directions for mixing. It made me feel stupid sometimes. Thanks God, I had a strong feeling inside, that I was doing a right thing!

This seems like really important information. Why am I learning it for the first time at age 26. Do they teach it in parenting courses? Does your doctor tell you? Why do the parents keep it a secret from the rest of us? I did not click on this video expecting to have my world turned upside down but BOY DID IT EVER
simonsaysism, I'm 56 and have studied health are related subjects in detail and this is the first time I've ever encountered this and too wonder why I've never encountered this information before.
I have a health & teaching background (daycare/babies care, plus teaching parenting health classes) & the reason you haven't heard it before is because it's bullshit clickbait
I don't know ounces, but pretty sure the numbers they are talking about are so high as to be impossible for a baby to drink, but particularly if a baby is on formula & the weather is hot or he/she has diarrhoea, water can be very important for them (breast milk naturally adjusts better, but it's still not perfect). If sick they will go off their food & not take a bottle, or vomit if they do try to drink it, due to being sick & as such their stomach not having the capacity to digest it in that moment. Best option in that situation is to wet a washer with boiled water & give it to the baby, who will do what they do with EVERYTHING & put it in their mouth & if dehydrated, normal responses will kick in & they will start to suck it & obtain the critical water they need. If they have signs that something's really not right, that water should be while calling & waiting for an ambulance to arrive. If they seemed fine, it can be prevention & as long as they stay stable, just monitoring for a few hours & they should return to looking ok, if not, hospital time. I do cover various symptoms in the classes I teach, but more than anything I teach just to trust "mother's intuition" because signs & symptoms in young babies are generally so hidden (instinct, the predator targets the weak member of the herd, babies instinctively mask when weak) that even professionals have trouble identifying them in clear cut terms, but a mother (or father) knows their baby & if something's off, they'll pick it, even though they most probably won't be able to define it in words & so that's what should be used as a guide to further medical care being needed. If they're really sick, babies will deteriorate very quickly & boiling the water will be time consuming enough! For parents to start searching for gastrolite or whatever speciality formulas they might be considering & searching exactly when they're suitable & if it matches the baby wastes too much time, plus causes parental stress that the baby picks up on & gets sicker. Water is all they need short term. If they're not that sick, then again water is all that's needed to get things back into enough balance that the baby's body can handle it from there. Babies aren't as fragile as new parents think they are. They'll endure most things :) biggest risk to them is probably scared parents, so videos like this really aren't helpful for anyone but ad revenue
@@specialopsdave I just looked it up, and apparently the terminology waivers. But in general, newborn=first month, infant=first year, and baby=anything between 0-4 years old. Which is definitely weird to me, seeing how I always associated baby with "can't crawl yet" for whatever reason. I definitely understand people associating "baby" with anything with chubby cheeks... But the fact it's mostly associated with newborns for me is just... Mind boggling to me. I'm guessing it's a culture thing or maybe just a personal thing. Oh well. Ya learn something new every day~
Yeah people think "baby" means 8 months old when we ate clearly talking about 6 months and younger, especially the first couple weeks a.k.a new born stage
@Edgy MoonwalkaYes, because they wouldn't need any water which means they wouldn't be dehydrated. but the bad news is that they sweat and they will be over hydrated. So, it's a win win
@@reactionsfromjpridevlogs3697 they'll sweat, so they'll loose water therefore they need to replenish the water but babies kidneys can't handle water. Therefore baby dies.
Cows milk actually slows childrens cognition down. Everyone thinks my kids are so smart but really its just that everyone elses kid is clogged and backed up from their little bodies trying so hard to process all the dairy. Dairy is worse for children than meat, but meat is worse for adults than dairy. Stop feeding your kid milk and dairy and you'll see an obvious boost in their cognition and awareness
My baby cousin was a week old when he became very fussy with a bloated belly. He hadn’t had a bowel movement in a day or two . My grandpa suggested to give him a few sips of baby water and boom- the poop and gas INSTANTLY started coming out . The baby was so relieved after getting everything out ( and getting a warm bath) he slept like an angel. I think he was constipated from all of the milk. So maybe in small sips it’s okay for some babies? I’m not sure but it worked well in that instance .
Sips are okay! It's like when bathing them, it's okay if they accidentally have a few sips of water. Same for giving just a few sips. Just as long as it isn't more than like maybe 2oz (a lot for a newborn) they'll be okay! Honestly that's such a good idea when they're constipated, I didn't even think of it for mine😭 that's so smart to do honestly. He was constipated for 6 months. It was so bad. He even had an intake of about 44oz a day of milk but it still wasn't helping😞 thank u for making this post though!!
A few sips is like it’s a perfect fit for their little bellies, that happened to all my siblings when they were babies younger that 3 months… they were happy too 😂
I work in pediatrics and that’s definitely NOT something to do!! There are other things you can do for a constipated baby such as gentle bicycle kicks, rectal stimulation such as taking temperature rectally, gripe water, probiotics. If they are on formula, maybe try switching formula’s or talk with your pediatrician about switching to a different formula for constipation. Babies should NOT have water until they are 6 months. Once they reach 6 months, they can have 1-2 oz of water. Their organs and bodies are still developing so DO NOT GIVE WATER UNTIL 6 MONTHS!!!! I cannot express that enough😧 We also like waiting until 6 months to give water because they can hold their heads up with little support vs. a newborn baby.
@@autumn18178 Kinda surprised someone working in pediatrics recommends gripe water. It works for some babies, but can cause allergic reactions in others and can even introduce bad bacteria to their bellies, making the gas, bloating, and colic worse. Most pediatricians will suggest other methods before recommending gripe water. If your baby is constipated, talk to their doctor. But lowkey I'm a hypocrite because I used gripe water without being advised to and thankfully my baby didn't have any issues with it. All babies are different, I too would recommend it but always talk to the doctor first for a more safe first option.
@Yorick Rodriguez Teething remedy. Plus, back in the day, my pediatrician told my mom to give me a hot toddy when I was sick. Or sore throat. Hot water, honey, whiskey.
Yes, my parents would rub rakiya on my gums as a baby when i was teething. They said they learned it from my grandparents who used it on all their kids, and it was a practice among every house in our village.
What’s so aggravating is grandparents think it’s so okay for babies to drink water, my in laws were trying to make me give my nb water but I knew better.
It’s okay in small bits, when my daughter was constipated or gassy we’d give her a little water- it was actually recommended by the doctor. 1 oz of water per month of age on occasion is perfectly healthy
In my family we give all babies water. Especially if they’re having stomach issues. I’m not a doctor but please know that not all TH-cam videos give accurate information. None of the babies in our family have any long term health issues from being fed water every now and again…
I've just read comments from other people saying that small sips of water is fine. I mean if a baby is having a bath, they're bound to swallow a bit of water and they're always completely fine
I come from Africa and we used to give water mixed with glucose to babies right from birth, weaning was done at 3 months and thus babies were given normal water. I don't know why or how that changed after 2005.
Same. My family gave infants “baby water” as well and nothing happened. maybe pure tropical coconut water will be better? I know mothers milk is the primary source of nutrients for children..: And as we all know, majority of Doctors don’t know what the hell they’re talking about 👀
She was drinking Gallons of water and refused to use the bathroom to relieve herself. All for a game system that she could have just bought for roughly $50. Im sorry for her loss but if you ask me it’s her own fault..
Nah it's the Aussies like me and peeps who live anywhere you sweat a LOT. Here you actually need to occasionally give 2-6month old infants water (or watered down formula/breastmilk) if it's too hot and they're dehydrated. The video is a bit dramatic about it and frankly, not correct in all cases. And yes, this is actual medical advice I've received for my infant.
Strangest patient situation I ever came across was a patient who came in on fluid restriction after purposely drink so much water they bottomed out their sodium levels - why? We never really understood why or how they did this but it was odd 🙃

Baby birds can't drink water too! So if you ever get to take care of a baby bird that has fallen from its nest, don't give them water nor milk! It's very dangerous for them.
Ragu inacan Right, there’s water in almost everything we drink. But it’s combined to make other compounds, so it’s not pure water, not the substance our body needs. Water itself is what we cannot survive without. Milk is milk, it’s not water. It contains a lot of water, but it’s not the purest form of water. We can survive without milk.
Yet my mother in law always insisted that I should give my babies water. I love her, but I never loved her advice. Smile, nod, then go your own way and do the right thing.
I’m amazed at the comments on this video. SMH. Take home points; 1. There is enough water content in breast milk/formula for babies until they begin eating solids in that they do not need additional water. 2. It is plain water (that is, water with no formula mixed in) or diluted formula that is the issue when given before babies are eating solids. 3. Most babies start solids at age 4 to 6 months. 4. When babies start solids a general rule is to give the amount of ounces per day as the age of the baby, (e.g 4 months old get 4 ounces per day, 5 months old get 5 ounces a day etc.) and those ounces should be split over 24 hours. 5. If a doctor suggest water before your baby starts eating solids, he/ she has a reason that is specific to your child. 6. Many of us got water as kids, and yes we are alive. But when you know better, do better. It’s like saying, oh we have learned that putting babies to sleep on their stomachs before they could roll on their own contributed to sudden infant death syndrome, but hey, I’m gonna not gonna put my baby on her back or side as suggested and hope she’ll be okay.)🤔 7. If you knew someone whose baby sadly got water intoxication or even your own child then many of these comments would not be so smart and snide. 8. 75 percent water already! Everything does not need to be 100 percent!! 9. It’s always better to be safe rather than sorry. 10. There was a time when cigarettes were deemed to be safe and even believed to have health benefits! (And look where we are now). With time, experience and studies we learn different so we do different. Anything that will affect the health of my baby it only seems rational to follow what is suggested. Have a blessed day people!!😊
When my babies were tiny (mid 70's)I was told to give water in a bottle between breast feeds when the weather was hot. It didn't seem to cause any problems. I hope that it hasen't created unknown problems for them growing up.
No, it didn't. If it was going to cause them any harm, it would have happened then, rather than later on. Also, when a baby has a stomach bug, parents were told to give boiled, cooled water little & often. Now, there are great rehydration formulas that are milk free, but specially designed for babies with stomach bugs. My friend was a doctor & when her daughter became sick after eating banana at about 4 months old, she gave her boiled, cooled water instead of breastmilk & stopped feeding her solids until she stoppped vomiting. As long as you don't give too much at once, a baby would be OK. But they can only handle small amounts.
Your mom couldn't breastfeed you? Edit: I got the response to my question more than enough no need to remind me again that some fellow women can't breastfeed!! (Which I already know about, but was wondering if it applied here too)

I would've believed you once you explained why...or atleast I would've looked into it.Sometime you can't tell someone that if they walk in a specific direction they may fall off a cliff,you just have to let them find out through experience,but when it comes to a child how can we not cry out constantly to them to save his or her life...that's what the village is for,to raise a child.
My breast milk is enough for my baby to hydrate but compare this to Africa I've seen newborns being given water like bottled water because according to them, that water is healthy.

I remember a mom was criminally charged in her babies death because she gave him water, I felt bad for her because I never knew babies could not drink water either. And I have mentioned it to people and a lot of other people said they also had no idea water would kill babies
No, we don't. Not usually, ever. But considering babies don't get sodium any sorts of water at high quantities won't have the amount of sodium they need. So their brains will likely swell if they get enough of just water, and no sodium. (So no foods or formula with sodium, and only water, would likely hurt them.)

@@shaunnen7437 not newborns. Maybe a tiny little bit would be OKAY when they're a bit older, but babies get all the water they need from their milk or formula until they're old enough for solids. Babies may have survived in the past when given water because people didn't know it was dangerous but it could have been bad. I was warned when I had my first baby when I was leaning about taking care of a newborn to never give them water.
I asked my mom and she said about 2oz with a lil bit of sugar
Babies can drink water perfectly fine and they dont have to be 6 months old. The reason that babies dont drink water like adults do is because most of their food has a high water content which means they dont need additional water. Formula has water, breastmilk has high water content and pureed foods have high water content. It isnt until they start eating table food and less foods with hogh water content that they need “additional” fluids/water. If your baby is in warmer climates, and is losing water via sweating then it is definitely ok to give them water. Dont take youtube videos as the gospel.

Thank you for this comment. It's important people don't rely on videos
Their kidneys can't properly deal with water its the equivalent of over drinking water and drowning your kidneys as a grown human sooo yes babies don't need water they get it in other ways
This fact should be clearly explained on dry baby formula. When I read instructions that you can't use less water or more water when mixing formula, as directed on the box, I was always trying to be as specific as possible. But my relatives always were saying that i paid too much attention to preparation process and I could not explain them a real reason why it was important, except showing directions for mixing. It made me feel stupid sometimes. Thanks God, I had a strong feeling inside, that I was doing a right thing!

This seems like really important information. Why am I learning it for the first time at age 26. Do they teach it in parenting courses? Does your doctor tell you? Why do the parents keep it a secret from the rest of us? I did not click on this video expecting to have my world turned upside down but BOY DID IT EVER
simonsaysism, I'm 56 and have studied health are related subjects in detail and this is the first time I've ever encountered this and too wonder why I've never encountered this information before.
I have a health & teaching background (daycare/babies care, plus teaching parenting health classes) & the reason you haven't heard it before is because it's bullshit clickbait
@@lilaclizard4504 can you expand on that?
I don't know ounces, but pretty sure the numbers they are talking about are so high as to be impossible for a baby to drink, but particularly if a baby is on formula & the weather is hot or he/she has diarrhoea, water can be very important for them (breast milk naturally adjusts better, but it's still not perfect).
If sick they will go off their food & not take a bottle, or vomit if they do try to drink it, due to being sick & as such their stomach not having the capacity to digest it in that moment.
Best option in that situation is to wet a washer with boiled water & give it to the baby, who will do what they do with EVERYTHING & put it in their mouth & if dehydrated, normal responses will kick in & they will start to suck it & obtain the critical water they need.
If they have signs that something's really not right, that water should be while calling & waiting for an ambulance to arrive. If they seemed fine, it can be prevention & as long as they stay stable, just monitoring for a few hours & they should return to looking ok, if not, hospital time.
I do cover various symptoms in the classes I teach, but more than anything I teach just to trust "mother's intuition" because signs & symptoms in young babies are generally so hidden (instinct, the predator targets the weak member of the herd, babies instinctively mask when weak) that even professionals have trouble identifying them in clear cut terms, but a mother (or father) knows their baby & if something's off, they'll pick it, even though they most probably won't be able to define it in words & so that's what should be used as a guide to further medical care being needed.
If they're really sick, babies will deteriorate very quickly & boiling the water will be time consuming enough! For parents to start searching for gastrolite or whatever speciality formulas they might be considering & searching exactly when they're suitable & if it matches the baby wastes too much time, plus causes parental stress that the baby picks up on & gets sicker. Water is all they need short term. If they're not that sick, then again water is all that's needed to get things back into enough balance that the baby's body can handle it from there.
Babies aren't as fragile as new parents think they are. They'll endure most things :) biggest risk to them is probably scared parents, so videos like this really aren't helpful for anyone but ad revenue
Lilac Lizard, good to know, thank you.
You need to specify "infant" in the title, since many parents give their year-old babies small amounts of water on hot days, and it's fine.
they specify it pretty early on in the video, no need
Infant=6months-18months. Babies are younger.
Or at least, this is how we call them at my daycare.
@@oeeveemkittygfreak I think you have that backwards, a newborn is definitely an infant, since killing a newborn is called infanticide
@@specialopsdave I just looked it up, and apparently the terminology waivers. But in general, newborn=first month, infant=first year, and baby=anything between 0-4 years old.
Which is definitely weird to me, seeing how I always associated baby with "can't crawl yet" for whatever reason. I definitely understand people associating "baby" with anything with chubby cheeks... But the fact it's mostly associated with newborns for me is just... Mind boggling to me. I'm guessing it's a culture thing or maybe just a personal thing. Oh well. Ya learn something new every day~

My baby cousin was a week old when he became very fussy with a bloated belly. He hadn’t had a bowel movement in a day or two . My grandpa suggested to give him a few sips of baby water and boom- the poop and gas INSTANTLY started coming out . The baby was so relieved after getting everything out ( and getting a warm bath) he slept like an angel. I think he was constipated from all of the milk.
So maybe in small sips it’s okay for some babies? I’m not sure but it worked well in that instance .
Exactly the same with my newborn. Gave him a few sips of lukewarm water and he was happy.
Sips are okay! It's like when bathing them, it's okay if they accidentally have a few sips of water. Same for giving just a few sips. Just as long as it isn't more than like maybe 2oz (a lot for a newborn) they'll be okay! Honestly that's such a good idea when they're constipated, I didn't even think of it for mine😭 that's so smart to do honestly. He was constipated for 6 months. It was so bad. He even had an intake of about 44oz a day of milk but it still wasn't helping😞 thank u for making this post though!!
A few sips is like it’s a perfect fit for their little bellies, that happened to all my siblings when they were babies younger that 3 months… they were happy too 😂
I work in pediatrics and that’s definitely NOT something to do!! There are other things you can do for a constipated baby such as gentle bicycle kicks, rectal stimulation such as taking temperature rectally, gripe water, probiotics. If they are on formula, maybe try switching formula’s or talk with your pediatrician about switching to a different formula for constipation. Babies should NOT have water until they are 6 months. Once they reach 6 months, they can have 1-2 oz of water. Their organs and bodies are still developing so DO NOT GIVE WATER UNTIL 6 MONTHS!!!! I cannot express that enough😧
We also like waiting until 6 months to give water because they can hold their heads up with little support vs. a newborn baby.
@@autumn18178 Kinda surprised someone working in pediatrics recommends gripe water. It works for some babies, but can cause allergic reactions in others and can even introduce bad bacteria to their bellies, making the gas, bloating, and colic worse. Most pediatricians will suggest other methods before recommending gripe water. If your baby is constipated, talk to their doctor.
But lowkey I'm a hypocrite because I used gripe water without being advised to and thankfully my baby didn't have any issues with it. All babies are different, I too would recommend it but always talk to the doctor first for a more safe first option.

I’m amazed at the comments on this video. SMH. Take home points;
1. There is enough water content in breast milk/formula for babies until they begin eating solids in that they do not need additional water.
2. It is plain water (that is, water with no formula mixed in) or diluted formula that is the issue when given before babies are eating solids.
3. Most babies start solids at age 4 to 6 months.
4. When babies start solids a general rule is to give the amount of ounces per day as the age of the baby, (e.g 4 months old get 4 ounces per day, 5 months old get 5 ounces a day etc.) and those ounces should be split over 24 hours.
5. If a doctor suggest water before your baby starts eating solids, he/ she has a reason that is specific to your child.
6. Many of us got water as kids, and yes we are alive. But when you know better, do better. It’s like saying, oh we have learned that putting babies to sleep on their stomachs before they could roll on their own contributed to sudden infant death syndrome, but hey, I’m gonna not gonna put my baby on her back or side as suggested and hope she’ll be okay.)🤔
7. If you knew someone whose baby sadly got water intoxication or even your own child then many of these comments would not be so smart and snide.
8. 75 percent water already! Everything does not need to be 100 percent!!
9. It’s always better to be safe rather than sorry.
10. There was a time when cigarettes were deemed to be safe and even believed to have health benefits! (And look where we are now). With time, experience and studies we learn different so we do different. Anything that will affect the health of my baby it only seems rational to follow what is suggested.

@@walkingInGodsGrace awwh. blessings
Perfect example of how we "know" nothing as a species, even after all these years...it's all just guess work and clever theories.
This is why I'm scared to be a parent. What if I do something I don't know and it injures my kids, I wouldn't never forgive myself
you shouldn’t have kids at all, because they will die at some point.
@@sparklingfashion6276 wow thats depressing
@vincent deschatelets make a new one
You would never regret having a kid
@@sparklingfashion6276 and the parent will at some point die too
When my babies were tiny (mid 70's)I was told to give water in a bottle between breast feeds when the weather was hot. It didn't seem to cause any problems. I hope that it hasen't created unknown problems for them growing up.
No, it didn't. If it was going to cause them any harm, it would have happened then, rather than later on. Also, when a baby has a stomach bug, parents were told to give boiled, cooled water little & often. Now, there are great rehydration formulas that are milk free, but specially designed for babies with stomach bugs. My friend was a doctor & when her daughter became sick after eating banana at about 4 months old, she gave her boiled, cooled water instead of breastmilk & stopped feeding her solids until she stoppped vomiting. As long as you don't give too much at once, a baby would be OK. But they can only handle small amounts.
My parents told me they fed me Rice Water instead of milk because we didn’t have enough money for milk. I turned out ok, I guess.
Your mom couldn't breastfeed you?
Edit: I got the response to my question more than enough no need to remind me again that some fellow women can't breastfeed!! (Which I already know about, but was wondering if it applied here too)
@@nctsgrass My mum couldn't breastfeed me as well, she was inflamed and bloody every time she tried. I was just fine with baby powdered milk.
Same here, my mom's breast couldn't provide enough breast milk at all. Some people produce less breast milk apparently
@@nctsgrass My grandma tried to breastfeed, and it made my uncle deathly sick. I was told her doctor said her milk was bad and it basically poisoned him. Luckily they caught it before he died from it.
Wtf not enough money for milk but enough to raise a child ?
To sum up this video, over hydration.
A lot of this is very exaggerated to be honest...
@@gravityfallscanada How so?
@@sabawahid1867
Google "baby drinking water" there is a half a dozen pages of findings on this subject. Yes, a lot of water is bad for a baby, but this video claims that a small amount is bad for an infant...
Hydration is very important, to the point of brain damage for an infant and only drinking milk can dehydrate a baby...
My daughter will be 37 on July 31st. When she was born she was even given water in the hospital!! It was common to give babies a little water occasionally. When she herself gave birth I asked her why she never gave my granddaughter any H2o and she told me about the dangers and I was shocked and grateful that nothing bad happened to her when she was a baby.
I know! We used sugar water in the hospital between feedings!
Wow. How far we've come. My grandma used to ask me if I gave my baby water and I was confused. But I guess it was normal to her
My mom is practically forcing me to give my baby water,that’s why I searched for such a video
@@stefaniefenty3999 had same issue even we argued because our parents get angry like they give when they raised us and now we invented new "methods"
@@stefaniefenty3999 DO NOT DO IT! Omg, always defer to a pediatrician. My nephew was hospitalized and almost died from water poisoning. He drank about one bottle of water per day and ended up in the hospital
Well, I really don’t think that 1-2 teaspoon in summer can hurt that much. Every parent should know what his baby needs are so for me, this is overreacting. You won’t give them half a bottle 🙄
a lady actually died from drinking water on a contest on a radio talk show they where eventually shut down because of it
trending games yeah but she wasn't allowed to go to the bathroom and she drank a lot at once.
@@Rinsuki yeah
The thing is - she died from drinking 3 gallons of water in a two hour window in order to win a contest where she could win a wii, supposedly. The thing is - she drank distilled water and not normal water. Please watch this video where it is thoroughly explained: th-cam.com/video/J3HivpHP-5I/w-d-xo.html
She didnt pee.

She didn’t die tho

Your pregnant and you drink water
Marisol Chaparro Well, you actually need to drink water because when you're pregnant you are constantly replacing amniotic liquid
Then you are healthy. Yep

well thats obvious

I learned about babies not drinking water before, but I had no idea it could cause damage like this. Thank you.

How. I have looked longer into the sun as a child
i think someone did die this way on the show
I've tried sharing this knowledge with others, however there've been times when it wasn't well received, folks thinking I'm either joking or full of crap. Thank you for explaining so well. I hope many people watch this.
I would've believed you once you explained why...or atleast I would've looked into it.Sometime you can't tell someone that if they walk in a specific direction they may fall off a cliff,you just have to let them find out through experience,but when it comes to a child how can we not cry out constantly to them to save his or her life...that's what the village is for,to raise a child.
@@jermainandrew4112 ..so thoughtful
By you're full of crap I don't think they meant your info wasn't true.
Because you are full of crap. Do not think youtube has a medical degree.
Maybe if you weren't full of crap, people would believe you.
My breast milk is enough for my baby to hydrate but compare this to Africa I've seen newborns being given water like bottled water because according to them, that water is healthy.
I’m lucky to be alive, those damn 70’s parents of mine😭😭😭🤦🏾♀️😂
Vy Sharieff same here!😂 I think the video went a bit overboard. Where i lived there was a heat wave and I wasn’t drinking milk so my mum called our GP and he said just to give me boiled water. Also had a febrile seizure and the doctor said to give me boiled water as well
On a hot day there's nothing wrong with giving a baby that's over 6 months old an ounce or two of water. LOL this is insane especially when they're teething
They use to provide bottled water in the hospitals back then. Most babies drank about a half oz.
@@dawne5139 oh wow how interesting. My son has probably had a combined 4 oz of water throughout his 9 month life, as ling as you do it sparingly only on hot hit days or if they have fevers from teething I dont see what's wrong with a bit. But I do now primarily go with Pedialyte
Dawn E
I thought that there were baby bottles with water yesteryear. You didn’t hear this is the 1970’s that bottled water was detrimental for babies.

@THAT IS MY UCHIHA WAY you meant "on TH-cam" if you're gonna insult me at the very least make your insult grammatically correct you moron.
Dude! I’m 42 and didn’t know this. This should be taught to everyone!
yeah it should I’m a teenager and learned it in 5th grade from a TH-cam video though
baby don’t drink
Go read a book sometimes
Oh God..
So... thirteen years of life, one little brother, many little cousins, and much babysitting later, and I find this out through a TH-cam VIDEO
I remember a mom was criminally charged in her babies death because she gave him water, I felt bad for her because I never knew babies could not drink water either. And I have mentioned it to people and a lot of other people said they also had no idea water would kill babies
this seems like an super important thing to know that nobody told me...
Ikr..
AAAAAH!!! Gallons? Ounces? Now I have to google how much is too much so I can drink water safely! I use the metric system. Liters, people. Liters.
A gallon is about 4 liters. Even 100 mililitiers can be toxic to an infant.
It's okay, not everybody can speak American
Maria Silva 2.5 to 5 gallons = 9.46 to 18.93 liters/day (We could say around and above 10 liters a day...it’s extremely dangerous)
oh so that’s why 2 liters is dangerous
Maria Silva lol 😂 isn’t converting something you learn in like 5th grade?? I grew up in Japan and we learned converting in 5th.
My mom is a nurse and we gave both my girls water as babies. They still love water. Sounds like scare mongering to me. Everything in moderation
Milk is 90% water, so how do their kidneys manage to process that water?
Shhh...!!! No logic here.. Cant you see this is internet?
I think it has more sodium, when you drink too much distilled water you can have this condition.
@@zANAMIz yes.. But do we drink distilled water?
No, we don't. Not usually, ever. But considering babies don't get sodium any sorts of water at high quantities won't have the amount of sodium they need. So their brains will likely swell if they get enough of just water, and no sodium. (So no foods or formula with sodium, and only water, would likely hurt them.)
