Babies do not need much water as they get it through breastmilk. Limit water intake to about 30 ml initially. Prefer giving boiled and cooled water during the first year.
Babies generally communicate through various signals or sounds and tend to point to the water cup or use sign language to say they want water. During feeds, if they refuse to eat or swallow food bolus, it indicates they need water. When water is offered, babies drink as much required. If the water cup is taken away, they might cry or bend forwards to reach the cup, which indicates they need more water.
