Q.

For.formula milk we add water to.mix nd drink for babies. If that powder with water doesn't affect the baby, why can't we give water alone to babies below 6 months of age?

A. In formula milk it's a medium to dissolve solid formula milk powder.. which is sufficient to keep baby hydrate. 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.

A. Hello dear parent! Water alone doesn’t have required nutrients for the baby’s development. When mixed with formula only there will be nutrients available. Once that is mixed there is no need to give just water separately. Keep Babyhug tummy roll on handy
