A. if breastfeeding properly, then not required, so,If your breast feeding your baby then continue to breastfeed at regular intervals and there is no need to give anything else apart from mother milk or formula milk to baby till he complete 6months of age as it is complete food that takes care of hydration as well as nutrition. After 6 month you can gradually start weaning with homemade easy to digest food items like rice porridge ragi porridge mashed fruits apple Puree, mashed banana chiku etc. whatever you are introducing should be introduced gradually with a small amount

A. No I know the summers are really very harsh but water is not recommended to be given before the age of six months to the child will complete that is then you can go ahead with giving water to the child then it would be no issues on giving any kind of drink to the child for that matter
