Q.

when can we start giving water to new born baby

1 Answer
ExpertDr Disha PatelAyurvedic Physician3 years ago
A. Don't give any water to newborn,because -Water has no calories but fills your baby nevertheless. This will make him less interested in drinking milk. It could also result in weight loss and increased bilirubin levels. Giving water at early age gets water intoxication. -Your baby’s kidneys are still not capable of handling too much fluid and giving your little one water causes their kidneys to flush out electrolytes and sodium, leading to dehydration and an electrolyte imbalance.
