Do you give water to 4 months old who started taking solid foods and exclusively breastfed?

Hi, Generally doctors advice not to give baby anything except breastfeed till six months and formula milk if not breastfed. But if you have already started giving solids to the baby at 4 months, you have to give her milk as in this case she would require more water than what rest milk can provide her. Since, she has started taking solids, she would require water to keep her hydrated and avoid constipation. But make sure that you do not feed too much water to the baby as in some cases the baby can have water toxicity if fed too much water. Hope you have consulted her paeditrican about giving solids to the baby at 4 months! If yes, the he must have told you about water intake and if not, then please take the advice of the doctor and act accordingly.

Our pediatrician prescribed solid foods when my son turned 4 months. They have guidelines to consider if babies can start solids already.

No need po if ebf si baby. Pero dapat nga po ay 6 months na si baby bago pakainin ng solid food.

6 months po nag start ng solid food ang baby at pwede na sya uminom ng water

Of course. Pero dapat six months pa pwede mag solid food.
