We, the adults, can not do without water. That is why some mothers (especially those who have become their first time) are extremely surprised to learn that up to 6 months, the baby simply water unnecessarily. But when will the coveted fracture - the introduction of complementary foods and become a topical issue of drinking baby mode - parents are lost, not knowing what to choose. So, we shall understand what the water to give the babies?
Bottled or from the tap
Water from public sources, including from the tap - is not the best choice, even for adults, let alone kids. Think about it: Is it possible in such environment, which is observed in our country, to risk the health of the child? There are countries in the world where people drink water from the tap, including infants, for example, in Slovenia. But it is rather an exception to the rule.
Many moms agree with it and move on... boiled water, believing that by doing so does not harm to the child. But is it? After all, no wonder nutritionists call this water "dead", thinking that after boiling in it nothing useful remains.
bottled water
Bottled water and bottles intended for children, today it is possible to find even in the small shop. And many mothers are buying it to your baby.
But in this water has its drawbacks. Firstly, a bottle of water can be open only a day: and if the baby is not "mastered" their 300 or 500 ml, then the water should be poured, which is very wasteful, right? Secondly, the cost of the water itself. Let the bottle is not very expensive (an average of 9-12 UAH), but when you consider purchasing it daily, about a month accumulates decent amount.
filtered water
Filters can now be found in any home, from embedded systems to pitchers. Tap water that had been purified, it is safe to drink, not only adults but also children. It's enough to buy a feeding cup or bottle handy, filled it - you can hit the road. However, parents should remember the regular replacement cartridges and filters are clean.
By the way, pediatricians recommend for the most part it is filtered water for drinking kids, counting, that a child from birth to live on family law, a child to drink the water that drink it parents. But, of course, the last word in the choice remains with the mothers and fathers.
