Do not give your baby plain water..!

Malas nak tulis panjang-panjang kenapa. Cuba try google "plain water for baby" then, you will find the answers. Some sources said it is fatal if you give water to your baby,.,. fatal? scary kan? most sources said giving plain water to babies can cause "sawan tarik" pun scary. So, when you are pregnant, why not u start ur research on this topic as well.

Plain water should be introduced to your baby when you have introduced to them solid food, around 6 months of age. Itupun, you should not bloat your baby with plain water, instead, keep on feeding her/him breastmilk. She/he'll be fine. Kalau kurang air, sembelit pulak nanti.

Masa mengandungkan Naurah babey dulu, masa pergi check up dekat klinik kesihatan, dekat dinding ada tampal-tampal info breastfeeding, piramid makanan, kesihatan baby, gigi baby, termasuk plain water ni. Tapi kebanyakan pregnant moms di klinik, mereka termenung tunggu turn. Dah lah tak bawa apa-apa benda nak baca ke, mengait ke, game ke.. (i brought sudoku all the time).. since tak bawa apa-apa, bacalah benda-benda tampal kat klinik tu..(tiba-tiba nak komplen)...

kalau moms yang bawa baby takpelah.. dia sibuk membelek2 newborn mereka.

kesimpulannya, plain water is dangerous kepada baby di bawah 6 bulan.

i once (not once, beberapa kali) saw my friend administer air dalam botol susu kepada anaknya. Sepanjang masa berada di rumahnya (sejam ke dua jam) dia asyik kasi anak dia plain water. Anak dia belum 2 bulan lagi time tu. Reason? untuk cuci lidah anak dia yang putih sebab susu formula. I knew it was bad from the very beginning, but if i tegur her, she'll state the classic statement "kau tak de anak maz, kau tak tau"..(masa tu, win anak dara lagi..kawen pun belum..hehe) boohoo! i watched closely how my mom took care of my nephew dari dia lahir sampai dia 2 tahun lebih. memang practical kurang, tapi teori cukup. buktinya, i took care of Naurah sendiri and so far alhamdulillah, "aku dah ada anak, aku tau la.." (tapi sebelum aku ada anak pun aku lebih tau dari kau lah, malu sikit..hehe)

oke, kembali ke tajuk asal, plain water tak perlu untuk baby yang exclusively breastfed and formula fed. Bila mula makan, baru kasi air kosong, tapi itupun jgn kasi sampai baby kenyang tak nak susu. faham? hehe

do your research now mommies, for your son/daughter's benefit tau.

p/s kalau ada yang terasa, janganlah terasa tau.. i may not meant you, because you are not the only friend that i have who has baby. perasan sangat nanti stress,, betul... :)
