How Much Fluid Should Be Given To An Infant While Teething?
HI I have a 6 month old who is teething. He has started refusing his milk in the last couple of days but will have food and water. Just wondered how much fluid he requires a day so i can monitor it. He is probably having just under 6 wet nappies a day at the moment but seems ok in himself other than the obvious teething
There is no specific requirement at this age group and you can give on-demand fluids. But age-appropriately you may give the baby 600 to 700 ml of total fluid per day at this age group if you are not giving any milk.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
Regards,
