A. In hot weather also , it is important to feed more frequent breast feeds or formula feeds if your baby is less than 6 months. Do not offer water unless otherwise is recommended by your docto r.

SWATHI B GMom of a 2 yr 10 m old boy2 years ago

A. no.. you can breastfeed the baby frequently to keep it hydrated.

POOJA KOTHARIMom of a 8 yr 7 m old boy2 years ago

A. Babies need more milk Their bodies too lose water quickly in the warm season and therefore need to be replenished enough and often. However, babies under 6-months-old cannot be given water directly to drink so the mother needs to breastfeed the baby more than before.
