POOJA KOTHARIMom of a 8 yr 5 m old boy1 Year agoA. For a 6-month-old baby, the primary source of hydration should be breast milk or formula. However, small amounts of water can be introduced in addition to their usual feedings, especially if they have started on solid foods.
Here are some guidelines:
1. **Small Sips**: Start with small sips, about 1-2 ounces (30-60 ml) of water per day, typically given in a sippy cup.
2. **Monitor Intake**: Gradually increase the amount if the baby tolerates it well, but avoid giving too much water as it can interfere with their nutrient intake from breast milk or formula.
3. **Avoid Overhydration**: Too much water can be harmful and might lead to water intoxication, which can disturb the baby’s electrolyte balance.
Always consult with a pediatrician before introducing water to ensure it fits well with the baby's overall feeding plan and nutritional needs.
