A. yes definitely water दें! If your breast feeding your baby then continue to breastfeed at regular intervals and there is no need to give anything else apart from mother milk or formula milk to baby till he complete 6months of age as it is complete food that takes care of hydration as well as nutrition. After 6 month you can gradually start weaning with homemade easy to digest food items like rice porridge ragi porridge mashed fruits apple Puree, mashed banana chiku etc. But whatever you are introducing should be introduced gradually with a small amount

A. Hello dear parent, yes you can introduce water to your baby at this age. You can boil the water and bring it to room temperature and then offer it to the baby. Give in little quantity first like 2 to 3 sips and slowly increase the quantity after few days. See how baby digests food and water. Good luck and take care
