A. dont worry too much if he is drinking a little water. At this stage babies do not require too much water also. Give a few sips of water after every meal and a few more sips through the day. Make sure the water is fully boiled and cooled completely . You can use a feeding bottle or a sippy cup with tiny holes. Sippy cup with big holes may choke the baby. So avoid that one. A teaspoon is however best.but many times babies will fuss a lot. Not to worry. They will get used to it. Even after 6 months completion breastmilk should still be the major source of liquid for a few months till babies get used to drinking water.
