A. avoid giving water even a 1 ml.. may cause Infection..Giving water at early age results in water intoxication, and breast milk itself has sufficient water content. all the best

A. Your little one — if under 6 months old — should be receiving both nutrition and hydration from breast milk or formula, not water. You probably know this, but you might not know why. It's because babies' bodies aren't suited for water until several months after birth.
