Drinking water helps digestion

Many mothers believe that it is good to give the baby a drink of water during meals to help digest food. Whether it is before, after or during meals, drinking water is not in line with the principles of healthy eating.

Drinking water will dilute digestive juices and weaken the vitality of digestive juices, especially for babies whose digestive functions are not yet developed.

Drinking water while eating will cause a feeling of fullness in the stomach, affecting the amount of food. But one thing needs to be noted by the mother, the baby can not eat food when he is thirsty. So don't let the baby thirsty, half an hour before eating can give the baby water.
