A. dear parent, even if your baby is having 2 to 3 teaspoons of water at a time, it is fine. even breast milk and food contain water and fulfills the hydration needs of baby.

A. Hello good evening !! Yes few infants like to play with water and due to no taste they intake less. You can give 2-3 spoons frequently every 1-1.5 hours ,while feeding semi solids is ok and other fluids like barley, soups without salt ,fruit and vegetable purie also hydrates the baby.
