ExpertDr Disha PatelAyurvedic Physician3 years agoA. they don't required now, Exclusive breast feed your baby two hourly and on demand .
Breast milk is the recommended source of nutrition for infants, especially during the first six months of life.
Its better to wait till 6 months by that time baby's bowel will be mature enough to accept semi solid foods

POOJA KOTHARIMom of a 8 yr 5 m old boy3 years agoA. If your baby is around 6 months old, you can offer small amounts of cooled boiled tap water but you should not replace their breastmilk or formula feeds. Breastmilk or formula should still be their main drink up to 12 months of age. After 12 months, their main drink should be water and cow's milk or breastmilk.
