It is not necessary for newborn babies to drink water. They get all the hydration they need from breast milk or formula. If your baby is breastfeeding and getting enough milk, they will not need additional water. If your baby is formula-fed, they will receive all the necessary hydration through their formula. If you are concerned about your baby's hydration, you can check their diaper to see if they are producing enough wet diapers, or you can talk to your pediatrician.
If you are more concerned about your newborn's hydration, you can check for the following signs:
Wet diapers: If your newborn is producing at least 6-8 wet diapers per day, this is a good indication that they are getting enough fluids.
Dry mouth and lips: If your newborn's mouth and lips feel dry and sticky, this could be a sign of dehydration.
Sunken fontanelle: The fontanelle is the soft spot on a baby's head. If it looks sunken or indented, this could be a sign of dehydration.
Decreased urine output: If your newborn is producing less urine than usual, this could be a sign of dehydration.
Lethargy or irritability: If your newborn seems excessively tired or irritable, this could be a sign of dehydration.
If you are concerned about your newborn's hydration, it is important to consult with a healthcare provider.
