In general, drinking water is a very good thing.
Why is water so dangerous for babies?
AsBusiness Insiderpoints out, babies' body composition is markedly different from that of adults or even older children.
While an adult’s body is about 55 to 60 percent water, babies are 75 percent water.
Their tiny kidneys can only handle so much water on top of that.
Avoid giving electrolyte-replacing pediatric drinks unless they are specifically prescribed by a doctorin case of dehydration.
In fact, you shouldnot be giving baby anything to drinkother than breast milk or properly-diluted formula.
As long as your baby gets prompt medical attention, though, there should not be any lasting damage.
