It is true that water should not be fed to babies. Water is only given after a baby is 6-months old. Giving water to a baby in large amounts can even lead to oral water intoxication, a condition in which the electrolytes (such as sodium) in a baby’s bloodstream become diluted, inhibiting normal bodily functions and leading to dangerous problems such as low body temperature or seizures. In addition, water is void of nutrients and could fill a baby up easily. Therefore, even after a baby is past 6 months old, it is recommended that only small amounts of water should be given.
