Q.

My twins daughter were born prematurely weighed 2.3 kgs and 1.8 kgs respectively and both of them are on formula feed since birth, they have turned 5 months now and I am confused about introducing water to them as some people are suggesting me to provide water to them as per the climate and because they are formula feed, I want to weight till they complete their 6 months, what to do?

A. U Wait right now let your child completes the age of six months that is the right time for you to introduce water so don’t listen to what people are saying you know what ever formula milk you are giving has good amount of water into it so child does not need any extra water so you can introduce water to the kids after six months only
