Sweetened water for babies

We explain the pros and cons of giving your baby sweetened water.


  • By getting used to sugary water, your baby may develop bad habits.
  • The baby might be programmed to like sweet foods and create a risk of obesity when growing up.
  • On the other hand, sugar water is a good remedy for colic, and a small syringe of water can be given to a colicky baby in small doses.
  • In short, you can give it to the baby only from time to time and make sure that it does not become a habit.

Ohhhh my goodness ladies!!! I just finished my glucose test less than 10 minutes ago and I feel sooo nauseous, I swear if it’s not for me focusing on my breathing- I would so puke right now!! The drink I had was cold and orange and tasted great (extreme sugar water) but actually stomaching the drink was almost unbearable for me. They told me I had 2 minutes to drink it and timed me. #trusttheprocess ?
