ExpertDr. Swapnil SaxenaAyurvedic Physician3 years agoA. not required, breastfeed is all that's required
Baby is having cold cough and fever then it can be due to viral infection you need to give him steam inhalation indirectly to times in the day and also keep him well hydrated .consult with your doctor near by who will examine the baby and guide you with appropriate medications in their proper dose.
Viral fever can last from 3-5 days so you need to to give the prescribed medications for this duration at least and if it is persistent beyond you need to go for the investigation as per the advice of the doctorIf 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.
But whatever you are introducing should be introduced gradually with a small amount

shreya goelMom of a 7 yr 5 m old boy3 years agoA. Hello mom
If you are giving it with any medication then it is fine but you don’t have to give water separately to your baby tell your baby turned six months old. Till the time baby should be totally on mother’s milk and mother’s milk contains high percentage of water which fulfil the need of water in babies
