Hello… can i give water to my baby as she is 6 months old now and started semi solid foods or there is no need to give water as she is breastfeeding and on formula feeding.

A. Hi, Yes definitely you can give water to your baby now.Give a few spoon of water after every meal. Gradually increase the quantity.Give semi-solids to the baby like fruit Puree, vegetable Puree, vegetable and dal soups, cerelac, rice porridge etc.Start with a few spoons and gradually increase the amount everyday. Intially replace one feed with solids, then slowly after some days replace other feeds with solids. After 1-2 month baby can have 3 meals a day.
