POOJA KOTHARIMom of a 8 yr 6 m old boy1 Year agoA. At six months of age, many babies start eating solid foods in addition to breast milk or formula. The amount of water a six-month-old baby needs can vary, and it's essential to be mindful of not overfeeding water, as it can affect the baby's electrolyte balance.
In general, you can offer small sips of water from a cup (without a bottle) during meals when introducing solids. Start with a few tablespoons of water and observe your baby's interest and ability to swallow. The Academy of Pediatrics suggests that you can offer around 2-4 ounces of water per day to babies 6-12 months old, in addition to their regular milk feedings.
Always consult with your pediatrician to get personalized advice based on your baby's individual needs, especially if you are in a region with a hot climate, as hydration needs may vary. Breast milk or formula remains the primary source of hydration for babies during their first year of life.
