Accepted Answer

Coconut water should not be given to babies below six months as there might be chances of allergic reactions. Coconut water is known to have high sugar and sodium content, which is why, it is recommended to mix it with rice before serving it to babies to dilute its contents.Ideally, coconut water can be given to infants after the first six months. Infants between six months to eight months are fed coconut water as an addition to their diet. Babies and infants can usually digest coconut water from the moment they start consuming solid foods.Plain, unsweetened coconut water is always the best choice for children. Summary Coconut water is rich in nutrients and electrolytes, making it an excellent choice for helping children rehydrate after sickness or physical activity.
