- While drinking ample amount of water is generally good health practice for adults, it can be deadly for newborn babies. It turns out, just a few ounces of water can be too much for an infant to handle, resulting in water intoxication that can even be fatal.

Following is a transcript of the video:
While adults need a constant reminder to drink more and stay hydrated, it's a different story for newborn babies. Their bodies aren't developed enough to consume even a few ounces of water, which in extreme cases could be fatal. Following is a transcript of the video.
There is a time in every person’s life when drinking water is deadly. Even as much as a few ounces is enough to kill.
The average, healthy adult is made up of 55-60% water. The average baby, on the other hand, is roughly 75% water. And that difference is why babies shouldn’t drink water before they’re at least 6 months old. Not from the tap, or a well, or a spring. Plain water is just plain off limits.
You see, everyone’s kidneys have a limit to how much water they can handle. Break that limit, and the excess water will back up into your bloodstream, where it dilutes the salt, or sodium, in your blood.
Once your blood dips below 0.4 ounces of sodium per gallon, you’re at risk of a condition called Hyponatremia. It happens when your cells try to return sodium levels to normal by absorbing the extra water and swell up like a water balloon in the process, causing complications like confusion, vomiting, and muscle spasms.
Hyponatremia is common in marathon runners who drink too much, too fast during a race without also providing enough sodium to balance out their blood. And if you keep drinking, that excess water will eventually reach the cells in your brain. By this point, you have a dangerous case of water intoxication, which affects roughly 200,000 Americans each year.
It occurs when your brain cells swell, which builds up pressure inside your skull. That can lead to seizures, brain damage, and - in severe cases - death.
But don’t worry, dying from water intoxication is extremely hard for a fully-grown human. An adult would have to drink 2.5-5 gallons every few hours to reach that point.
But for newborns, it’s a different story. Their kidneys are about half the size of an adult’s. So, they can’t hold much water to begin with, and it takes just a few ounces to cause problems.
On top of that, their kidneys aren’t developed enough, yet, to properly filter water. So, any water that enters their body ends up in the circulatory system, where it dilutes their blood, and increases their water content by 7 to 8%.
But it’s not just drinking straight H2O that poses a threat. In fact, most cases of water intoxication in infants don’t even involve a glass of water. A common mistake is when people dilute baby formula TOO MUCH, by accident, or when parents dunk their infants up and down in a swimming pool, and in the process, the infant gulps in too much water.
It’s important that if your baby is showing signs of water intoxication that you take them to the hospital immediately, where a doctor will likely provide some form of fluids, like intravenous saline solution, to bring the infant's sodium levels up to normal. - Наука та технологія

Daniel Chachanashvili But they CAN HAVE WATER!
Daniel Chachanashvili it’s not that they don’t drink water. It’s that they drink diluted water. There is water in formula and breast milk it’s just diluted. Breast milk is 88% water. But that 12% of other stuff in it makes the difference potentially between life and death.
@@ragon39, you can't dilute water by adding extra water, like any other chemical.
Human Babies are honestly some of the weakest, fragile, and helpless babies of any species on this planet

Right! Babies of other beings adapt themselves to their environment in a short time and can sustain their lives on their own. However, babies of human beings can hardly stand on their feet in two years .

My grandma and mom give me daughter water daily , i cry everyday about it but apparently I was also give water as a newborn
Can you please name the book you read about parenting?
They used to do tons of things that were harmful (they often did not know better),like smoking and drinking alcohol and no carseats,no seef sleeping,tons of toys on thr cribs,child.mortality rate has decreased a lot since then.

I knew babies shouldn’t drink water but never really understood the reasoning x.x thanks for this video, very informative and clear 🙏
This fact should be clearly explained on dry baby formula. When I read instructions that you can't use less water or more water when mixing formula, as directed on the box, I was always trying to be as specific as possible. But my relatives always were saying that i paid too much attention to preparation process and I could not explain them a real reason why it was important, except showing directions for mixing. It made me feel stupid sometimes. Thanks God, I had a strong feeling inside, that I was doing a right thing!
Very good that you listened to your own intuition and not to what they said!
I NEVER THOUGHT ABOUT THE FACT I’VE NEVER SEEN A BABY DRINK WATER BEFORE WHAT
babies instinctly hold their breath in water aswell

You need to specify "infant" in the title, since many parents give their year-old babies small amounts of water on hot days, and it's fine.
they specify it pretty early on in the video, no need
Infant=6months-18months. Babies are younger.
Or at least, this is how we call them at my daycare.
@@oeeveemkittygfreak I think you have that backwards, a newborn is definitely an infant, since killing a newborn is called infanticide
@@specialopsdave I just looked it up, and apparently the terminology waivers. But in general, newborn=first month, infant=first year, and baby=anything between 0-4 years old.
Which is definitely weird to me, seeing how I always associated baby with "can't crawl yet" for whatever reason. I definitely understand people associating "baby" with anything with chubby cheeks... But the fact it's mostly associated with newborns for me is just... Mind boggling to me. I'm guessing it's a culture thing or maybe just a personal thing. Oh well. Ya learn something new every day~
Yeah people think "baby" means 8 months old when we ate clearly talking about 6 months and younger, especially the first couple weeks a.k.a new born stage
I learned about babies not drinking water before, but I had no idea it could cause damage like this. Thank you.
Being a parent is scary so many ways to harm a baby, every new parent should take infant safety courses.

im 28 with a 6 yr old and i cant recall every being told not to give my child water. and i attended a few baby classes as well.
It’s amazing how we’ve survived for this long.
Something like this should be common knowledge but I had no idea
Seun Man, a lot of things need to be common knowledge. I wish school classes taught things based on life more...
My Gosh i am 58 yrs old don't have children. I do have nieces n nephews. Thank god i never killed them with water. I never knew this. Please get this information out there to school n day care centers. This should be widely know😯
i cant speak for the whole country but where i live they canceled all home ec classes for being "sexist towards women" even though alot of men took the classes (like 2/3) and they really cut back on sex ed beyond teaching you about every STD on the planet and basically saying "wear a condom or you'll definitely get AIDS even if your both virgins" (i wish i was exagerating) but never taught us anything about what to do once you actually had a kid. I'm smack dab in the middle of an ultra liberal area so it's not even a religious or moral thing.

Why would it be common knowledge unless you were expecting a child, or were a parent?
You’re not supposed to give them whiskey either but that never stopped my parents.

In my family we give all babies water. Especially if they’re having stomach issues. I’m not a doctor but please know that not all UA-cam videos give accurate information. None of the babies in our family have any long term health issues from being fed water every now and again…
I've just read comments from other people saying that small sips of water is fine. I mean if a baby is having a bath, they're bound to swallow a bit of water and they're always completely fine
I come from Africa and we used to give water mixed with glucose to babies right from birth, weaning was done at 3 months and thus babies were given normal water. I don't know why or how that changed after 2005.
Absolutely
Same. My family gave infants “baby water” as well and nothing happened. maybe pure tropical coconut water will be better? I know mothers milk is the primary source of nutrients for children..: And as we all know, majority of Doctors don’t know what the hell they’re talking about 👀

I have seen babies being given a little bit of water. The idea that babies don't get thirsty, hot or dehydrated it a strange one.
I just asked my mom if she ever gave me water 💧🚰💦 before 6 months she said "since the first day" HOW AM I ALIVE
Cause it’s safe. People are stupid. Lmao how would you think it feels to drink milk alll day and no water? 1-2 oz A day is good for a baby
@@shaunnen7437 I gave both my kids water a day they are both fine. It's funny how they say no water but if you use formula powder you need water to mix it.
Faith Kings exactly lol
@@shaunnen7437 not newborns. Maybe a tiny little bit would be OKAY when they're a bit older, but babies get all the water they need from their milk or formula until they're old enough for solids. Babies may have survived in the past when given water because people didn't know it was dangerous but it could have been bad. I was warned when I had my first baby when I was leaning about taking care of a newborn to never give them water.
I asked my mom and she said about 2oz with a lil bit of sugar
Now that I think about it...

"I THINK BABIES SHOULD DRINK WATER!" - By a Toxic Parent
Nah it's the Aussies like me and peeps who live anywhere you sweat a LOT. Here you actually need to occasionally give 2-6month old infants water (or watered down formula/breastmilk) if it's too hot and they're dehydrated. The video is a bit dramatic about it and frankly, not correct in all cases. And yes, this is actual medical advice I've received for my infant.
Yeah we knew about this as part of a parenting course. My boy is 2.5 now and has a water bottle, a juice bottle, and a milk bottle. He usually empties each of those once per day (the juice bottle gets diluted juice, and the bottle itself is half the volume of the other two)
Juice ain't good for the liver
But they are made of water

We gave our baby a little water... Did not hurt him. He is a healthy 21 year old.
My baby cousin was a week old when he became very fussy with a bloated belly. He hadn’t had a bowel movement in a day or two . My grandpa suggested to give him a few sips of baby water and boom- the poop and gas INSTANTLY started coming out . The baby was so relieved after getting everything out ( and getting a warm bath) he slept like an angel. I think he was constipated from all of the milk.
So maybe in small sips it’s okay for some babies? I’m not sure but it worked well in that instance .
Exactly the same with my newborn. Gave him a few sips of lukewarm water and he was happy.
Sips are okay! It's like when bathing them, it's okay if they accidentally have a few sips of water. Same for giving just a few sips. Just as long as it isn't more than like maybe 2oz (a lot for a newborn) they'll be okay! Honestly that's such a good idea when they're constipated, I didn't even think of it for mine😭 that's so smart to do honestly. He was constipated for 6 months. It was so bad. He even had an intake of about 44oz a day of milk but it still wasn't helping😞 thank u for making this post though!!
A few sips is like it’s a perfect fit for their little bellies, that happened to all my siblings when they were babies younger that 3 months… they were happy too 😂
I work in pediatrics and that’s definitely NOT something to do!! There are other things you can do for a constipated baby such as gentle bicycle kicks, rectal stimulation such as taking temperature rectally, gripe water, probiotics. If they are on formula, maybe try switching formula’s or talk with your pediatrician about switching to a different formula for constipation. Babies should NOT have water until they are 6 months. Once they reach 6 months, they can have 1-2 oz of water. Their organs and bodies are still developing so DO NOT GIVE WATER UNTIL 6 MONTHS!!!! I cannot express that enough😧
We also like waiting until 6 months to give water because they can hold their heads up with little support vs. a newborn baby.
@@autumn18178 Kinda surprised someone working in pediatrics recommends gripe water. It works for some babies, but can cause allergic reactions in others and can even introduce bad bacteria to their bellies, making the gas, bloating, and colic worse. Most pediatricians will suggest other methods before recommending gripe water. If your baby is constipated, talk to their doctor.
But lowkey I'm a hypocrite because I used gripe water without being advised to and thankfully my baby didn't have any issues with it. All babies are different, I too would recommend it but always talk to the doctor first for a more safe first option.

@@AM-tc2ff I think he's joking
LOL! I miss that movie!
Isn't it technically always after midnight, though?
When my babies were tiny (mid 70's)I was told to give water in a bottle between breast feeds when the weather was hot. It didn't seem to cause any problems. I hope that it hasen't created unknown problems for them growing up.
No, it didn't. If it was going to cause them any harm, it would have happened then, rather than later on. Also, when a baby has a stomach bug, parents were told to give boiled, cooled water little & often. Now, there are great rehydration formulas that are milk free, but specially designed for babies with stomach bugs. My friend was a doctor & when her daughter became sick after eating banana at about 4 months old, she gave her boiled, cooled water instead of breastmilk & stopped feeding her solids until she stoppped vomiting. As long as you don't give too much at once, a baby would be OK. But they can only handle small amounts.
At this point I'm just asking myself how some stone age children survived with so many rules you have to follow

Mikee 1234444 it’s true I read some rick lady’s blog once and she said that
I had 3 children back in 70's & 80's all 3 had water at times, (warm water of course) I gave them a small amount if they woke at night then they would go back of to sleep, babies don't always need milk, they get thirsty just like we do. My kids soon slept through the whole night, they are of course all grown now & with children of their own, all are healthy and happy, so giving a baby a small amount of lukewarm water is not going to hurt them, my first baby was born in the heatwave of 76' so yes I gave a little water every now and then. You mums out there, use your initiative if your baby seems dry or thirsty (dry lips can sometimes be a sign) then try them on a little water - perhaps no more than an ounce, unless their milk feed is due, but this can settle a baby until feed time, sometimes it is all that the baby was in need of.!!!
Thank goodness I knew this . I am an avid reader , and when I had my first child 22 years ago - I just followed the rules that they gave me . And now I have 4 (1 adult , twins and my middle child) I didn’t give them water until it was time .
That's why i don't let my baby drink milk. He's got to snort those milk powder from the table.
Cows milk actually slows childrens cognition down. Everyone thinks my kids are so smart but really its just that everyone elses kid is clogged and backed up from their little bodies trying so hard to process all the dairy. Dairy is worse for children than meat, but meat is worse for adults than dairy. Stop feeding your kid milk and dairy and you'll see an obvious boost in their cognition and awareness

@@lilaclizard4504 can you expand on that?
I don't know ounces, but pretty sure the numbers they are talking about are so high as to be impossible for a baby to drink, but particularly if a baby is on formula & the weather is hot or he/she has diarrhoea, water can be very important for them (breast milk naturally adjusts better, but it's still not perfect).
If sick they will go off their food & not take a bottle, or vomit if they do try to drink it, due to being sick & as such their stomach not having the capacity to digest it in that moment.
Best option in that situation is to wet a washer with boiled water & give it to the baby, who will do what they do with EVERYTHING & put it in their mouth & if dehydrated, normal responses will kick in & they will start to suck it & obtain the critical water they need.
If they have signs that something's really not right, that water should be while calling & waiting for an ambulance to arrive. If they seemed fine, it can be prevention & as long as they stay stable, just monitoring for a few hours & they should return to looking ok, if not, hospital time.
I do cover various symptoms in the classes I teach, but more than anything I teach just to trust "mother's intuition" because signs & symptoms in young babies are generally so hidden (instinct, the predator targets the weak member of the herd, babies instinctively mask when weak) that even professionals have trouble identifying them in clear cut terms, but a mother (or father) knows their baby & if something's off, they'll pick it, even though they most probably won't be able to define it in words & so that's what should be used as a guide to further medical care being needed.
If they're really sick, babies will deteriorate very quickly & boiling the water will be time consuming enough! For parents to start searching for gastrolite or whatever speciality formulas they might be considering & searching exactly when they're suitable & if it matches the baby wastes too much time, plus causes parental stress that the baby picks up on & gets sicker. Water is all they need short term. If they're not that sick, then again water is all that's needed to get things back into enough balance that the baby's body can handle it from there.
Babies aren't as fragile as new parents think they are. They'll endure most things :) biggest risk to them is probably scared parents, so videos like this really aren't helpful for anyone but ad revenue
Lilac Lizard, good to know, thank you.
This just prove that I'm super not ready to have a baby. Knowing how careless and unknowledgeable I am as a person I don't think I ever qualified to be a dad.

I swear I dissect words like that now that I’ve watched his videos
They are made of more water and drinking water turns them into full water balloons.
just another commenter lol
Lol 🤣
I'm not a parent but I'm amazed this is the first time I've ever heard of this, thanks for the knowledge!
Fact Check This !!!! A little water an't going to Kill a Infant !!!
Good to know about the “diluting baby food too much”, didn’t think at all that it can be harmful
every morning i wake up to water my babies. i dedicate my life to the tending of my crop for a bountiful harvest
DZY 😂😂
Why did I laugh😂
MavisDom ! Literally died 😂😂
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😁😂😁😂😁😂😁😂
LMAO
I am happy my parents didn’t kill me
I'm honestly surprised my parents didnt kill me. As soon as i could walk I'd wander into fields with snakes, coyotes, and stray dogs for hours on end. One time i went missing for 4 hours and they found me under the deck.
i wish they killed me

I never even knew this or realized this would be an issue. Wow.
This info needs to be spread around more

cuz she's a baby
I remember that news were a mother died of water intoxication because she wanted to win a Wii in a contest for her family 😔😔😔 it's so sad.
Yea chubbyemu did a video on it
Yeah that was sad
That's really sad
That's exactly what I was thinking when the video brought up water intoxication in adults.
She was drinking Gallons of water and refused to use the bathroom to relieve herself. All for a game system that she could have just bought for roughly $50. Im sorry for her loss but if you ask me it’s her own fault..
Right after I look up dating apps, I'm recommended this. YT clearly doesn't know me well if they think I'm getting any action or want any kids.
I live in the same neighborhood as my parents.. when my daughter was 2 months old something my dad would take her home to play with her until it's feeding time, I wonder why my daughter suddenly had some kind of diarrhea until few days later I found out that my mom feed her water, so yeah..
This is scary
I know right

I would say me too, but the doctors would warn us before
“I would have tried to kill my child from birth”
Wtf is wrong with you
You mean *overhydrated
Mewkityy fun fact: you learn a lot when you get pregnant & deliver
They can and do drink water. Sometimes they need it. They just don't drink it in the quantities we do. They can have an ounce or two.
When I had my first baby I was very poor and couldn't breast feed because I had no food for myself so I wasn't producing milk sometimes I had to give my water to pacify hunger she turned out fine. Now she is 11 and healthy thanks be to God .
Water intoxication. The only intoxication you can't go to jail for.
Incredibly false.
Wait what? Since when is drinking illegal, is the prohibition back?
@Naked Squirtle i know that but he just didn't phrase it well
you don't end up in jail, you end up in a coffin.
Al F welll if a baby dies of water intoxication the parents would likely face a jail sentence so that’s technically false lol
