      1. Frequent drinking of beverages can cause malnutrition in babies

      Babies often drink drinks, especially irritating drinks such as cola, fruit-flavored sodas, and sour drinks. These irritating drinks not only irritate the baby's stomach, but also dilute the digestive juice in the baby's stomach, impairing the baby's food digestion and absorption function. If things go on like this, it will cause malnutrition in the baby.

      2. Frequent drinking of beverages will reduce the baby’s disease resistance.

      Everyone knows that most drinks contain ingredients such as sugar, synthetic colors, preservatives, and flavors. When these ingredients are absorbed by the body, they will cause a decline in the immune function of the body. There is no big problem for adults to drink them, but Child Children's own immunity is low, and their disease resistance is even lower after drinking beverages, making them prone to respiratory, digestive tract and other system infections.

      3. Frequent drinking of beverages will weaken the baby’s gastric mucosa

      The baby itself is not fully developed. Drinks that are too acidic and too cold will cause damage to the gastric mucosa. In severe cases, bloody gastritis will occur, and the baby will vomit blood or have bloody stools.
