ExpertDr Disha PatelAyurvedic Physician3 years agoA. Water has no calories but fills your baby nevertheless. This will make him less interested in drinking milk. It could also result in weight loss.
also baby’s kidneys are still not capable of handling too much fluid and giving your little one water causes their kidneys to flush out electrolytes and sodium, leading to dehydration and an electrolyte imbalance.
