A. It's generally not recommended to give water to babies younger than 6 months old. At 5 months, your baby gets all the necessary hydration and nutrients from breast milk or formula. Giving water to a baby younger than 6 months can lead to health issues, such as water intoxication, which can cause a dangerous drop in sodium levels in the blood. This can lead to symptoms like drowsiness, confusion, or even seizures.

A. No there is no need for water right now you should give it after completing the term of six months because of feed that you are giving current to your child has sufficient amount of water into it which is why no extra water would be required to be given under the age of six months
