POOJA KOTHARIExpecting Mom due this month3 months agoA. For a four-month-old baby, it’s best to avoid giving any medicines or water without a doctor’s advice. At this age, babies should ideally be fed only breast milk or formula milk, as these provide all the hydration and nutrition they need.
Medicines: Only give medicines prescribed by your pediatrician. Never give over-the-counter medicines or home remedies without consulting a doctor. Water: Generally, babies under six months don’t need extra water. Giving water too early can fill their tiny stomachs and reduce their appetite for milk, and in rare cases, cause water intoxication.
If you feel your baby needs medicine or water for any reason (like fever, dehydration, or illness), please talk to your pediatrician first to get the correct advice and dosage.
