ExpertDr Disha PatelAyurvedic Physician3 years agoA. 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 your baby water before 6 month of age, may mean they drink less breastmilk or formula. And eventually this can put him / her at risk of not getting enough milk or formula for proper growth.
Giving water at early age results in 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.
