Stop Giving White Water In Baby ! Hazardous to health

In addition to breast milk , many parents give to the water a little masib 0-6 months old . Either after breastfeeding or at any other time . In fact , the habit is very wrong because the risk of causing a variety of health effects .What are the dangers ? Here's an explanation Dr . Utami Roesli , Sp.A. , MBA . , CIML , IBCLC , of the Indonesian Lactation Center :

1. Bacterial Infections 


*Provision of water in infants 0-6 months to make a baby at risk of bacterial infection if contaminated water used . Utami themselves have had experience , patients are about 1 month old , if the baby's mother reported frequent bowel movements up to a dozen even dozens of times a day .Her mother thought her son diarrhea due to illness , so that had been breast-fed , then given well water and formula . The result of normal infants who had diarrhea digestive actually infected with the bacteria .It is known from baby feces containing blood . Most likely , the infection arises because water intake was given his mother . Moreover, if the equipment is not hygienic drinking , also is not the right way to cook and has been contaminated with bacteria .

2 . Disturb Infant Brain 


Kidney infants 0-6 months is not functioning properly , so that if he was given water , the water will bring art and electrolytes in the blood , such as sodium , which is actually useful to the body . If the deficiency , the risk of the baby having a seizure .The more electrolyte is " wasted " , the more negative risks that can be experienced . As a result , if the baby is spending a lot of electrolytes of all organs of the body , a good heart , kidney or lung disease , including the brain , the brain activity can be disrupted . Symptoms, low body temperature can be up to a seizure .

3 . Kidney Damage


 Renal function as a regulator of fluid balance in the body is not complete in infants aged 0-6 months . Indeed, at 35 weeks gestational age , infant kidney is formed , but not yet functioning properly . So even after the baby is born . Although the kidneys are the perfect shape . This lasted until the baby is 6 months of age .Another case in children and adults , the kidneys regulate fluid intake is incoming to the output . For example , if a lot of drinking , the kidneys will be set up so berkemihnya often . Or, when cold, will be more frequent urination . Conversely , in hot weather , we tend to be less frequent urination .In essence , the kidneys regulate the balance of fluids / electrolytes in the body , such as sodium , calcium , and others . But if it happened when the kidney has not been given his perfect white water , the baby's body will be excess water or " poisoning " of water . Because the incoming water can not be balanced with expenditure.

4 . poisoned


 It is true that babies should be enough to drink , but not drinking water lo . For infants under the age of 6 months to drink water it will harm the baby itself. Research Dr . Jennifer Anders darijohn Hopkins Children 's Center in Baltimore, United States proves , giving water to infants under six months of risky lead poisoning ( intoxication ) .According to Jennifer , had a baby instinctively thirst reflex or desire to drink . Because of this , many parents who give their babies breast milk in addition to extra water . In fact , the small kidneys not functioning properly . As a result , the water they drink to make him let go of sodium ( minerals needed for the body's metabolic processes ) .In fact , loss of sodium can affect brain activity .  baby will experience symptoms of poisoning , including low body temperature , swollen face and even convulsions . Because of that , Jennifer insists , breastfed babies do not need to consume water . For infants 0-6 months enough milk .
