ExpertDr Disha PatelAyurvedic Physician4 years agoA. noo.. Don't give any water at this young age...because
-Water has no calories but fills your baby nevertheless. This will make him less interested in drinking milk. It could also result in weight loss and increased bilirubin levels.
Giving water at early age gets water intoxication.
-Your baby’s kidneys are still not capable of handling too much fluid and giving your little one water causes their kidneys to flush out electrolytes and sodium, leading to dehydration and an electrolyte imbalance.
Sai Prasanthi R LMom of a 11 yr 6 m old boy4 years agoA. Hello dear parent! Water shouldn’t be given before 6 months completion. Continue to exclusively breastfeed your baby well on demand for better health, nutrition and hydration. Breastmilk will suffice the hydration and nutrition. Maintain a good personal hygiene for your baby. Good luck and take care.
