Hello doctor, my 8mo son doesn't drink water at all. The only time there is water intake is when he has formula milk, i.e. around 500ml all day. Can I add something to the water and give him ? Please advise. Thank you.

A. Dear parent, try to give few sips of water in between and after meals. If baby is passing urine more than 6 to 8 times in 24 hours and urine is colourless or light yellow in colour then baby is getting adequate hydration.
